The youngest ABC kickers, the Bambini "Mini" (5 years and younger), started yesterday with their first training session on the small field next to the Apollinaris Stadium. There were many new faces among them. Frank Stephani and Isabelle Baudzus, who support the Mini kickers as coaches, supervisors, and friends, were able to welcome 19 of their total 25 protégés. From "I'm going to jump right into the fray" to "I'll just watch with Mom and Dad quietly from the sidelines," the new ABCers approached the new experience differently.
But everyone present had fun in a way. We have no doubt that this will continue to be the case and warmly welcome the new girls and boys as well as the parents to ABC.
