Wanted to add a link to the pictures from our old home page. I guess I'm sentimentally attached and just can't let it go. Take a look if you'd like to see some cute pictures.

Reviving the old Blog

Looking at bringing back the old blog. I'll have to transfer some article from the "new" blog here, so pardon the construction for a while.

Our Blog has Moved

We moved our website about a year ago to a different server and our blog moved along with it.  You can find it here:  http://www.breakawayfashions.com/blogs/coaching-very-young-players

Try the Tie-Dye in a Tri

Try the Tie-Dye in a Tri...Triathlon that is.  You won't have any trouble keeping track of your daughter in the crowd with our girls sports jerseys.  And with the younger ones, the odds of them getting off-track are not insignificant.

Our Zebra Jersey works too well?

Q: How does a zebra use it's stripes?

A: To confuse a predator.

They say that predators can't see any single individual zebra. When the herd is all standing together, predators see one big animal and are less likely to attack. There is power in numbers and stripes. Anyway, when we put our black lettering on our black striped Zebra jersey, the letters can get lost too. So we recently provided a team with Hot Pink lettering, which turned out pretty cute. Take a look!

Softball, Tennis, Soccer, What Else?

It's becoming clear that our jerseys are for more than soccer. They're also good for girls softball team jerseys and girls tennis jerseys. I'm guessing they'd be good for volleyball and maybe even basketball. Girls golf? What other sports would they work with? How about a triathlon?

What a Game

There's no way I can describe yesterday's game for the US National Women's Team, but I'll try:

• The thrill of scoring first.
  
• The taste of destined victory when Solo saved the PK.
  
• The anger over the referee's call to allow Brazil to retake the penalty.
  
• The concern about going down to 10 players.
  
• The pride of the fitness and effort for the remaining 10 players.
  
• The depression when Brazil scored in extra time when they were clearly offsides.
• The gut wrenching 30 minutes when our women were fighting beyond exhaustion, but couldn't score.
  
• Then the Big One: the unbelievable thrill of the last minute goal in the extra time's extra time. Who could believe it?
  
• The heartbreak to see our first penalty missed.
  
• The rebirth of hope upon seeing the Brazilian keeper had cheated way forward and was caught allowing us to make the re-kick.
• Finally, the joy of making the last penalty and winning the match.

If you missed it, you really missed it.
