Enkele jaren geleden gaf onze dochter aan dat ze graag voetbal wilde spelen. Dat was op zich een verrassing omdat het spelletje haar (in tegenstelling tot haar oudste broer) totaal niet bezig hield of zelfs maar enigszins interesseerde. Ze volgde het niet. Ze keek het niet. Nergens niet. Nooit. Omdat het menens leek en het dat ook bleef, gingen we op zoek naar een club die ook een meisjeswerking had.
