Breakdown
Seeking
#11:
Female, 18+ to play 17; open ethnicity. Midfield. Brainy, morbid, budding elitist, thoughtful. Smart and she knows it, watches documentaries, columnist for high school newspaper. Both of her parents are psychiatrists. A bit of a know-it-all, she enjoys policing and correcting her teammates. Junior at East High.
#25:
Female, 18+ to play 17; open ethnicity. Captain. Classic ex-coach’s daughter. She keeps the team on track, even if she’d rather join in on the fun, and loves a good pep talk. A hard worker, a good leader; emotionally closed off, she discovers her first crush on a woman and shaves her head. Junior at East High.
#13:
Female, 18+ to play 16; open ethnicity. Midfield. Class clown, jock, a bit of a bro, her older brother's a stoner and they definitely play FIFA. Into her wackiness. Refuses to take anything too seriously, she lives to rib her teammates, which can get her in hot water. Junior at East High.
#46:
Female, 18+ to play 16; open ethnicity. Bench. The new girl, awkward, different. Homeschooled, she lives in a yurt with her new age travel writer mom. Her nomadic life has left her with idiosyncratic passions (bird watching) and a lack of social skills, but she doesn't seem to mind. Extraordinary soccer skills are essential; she must juggle a soccer ball for a minute, or perform a similarly impressive feat.
#2:
Female, 18+ to play 16; open ethnicity. Defense. Innocent, unlucky, kind, skinny. Sweet, naive, sheltered, she considers herself a nice and humble person; she is a member of her church's youth group and of Amnesty International, along with the oldest sister and caretaker of her many younger siblings. Has an eating disorder; has suffered multiple concussions. Doesn't like talking bad about others. Junior at East High.
#7:
Female, 18+ to play 16; open ethnicity. Striker. Too cool for school. Sarcastic, “fuck”, thick eyeliner. The child of a bad divorce, her lawyer father owns a ski house, and she’s dating a college boy – they’re very much in love. Has problems with authority. Junior at St. Albans, Catholic all-girls school.
#14:
Female, 18+ to play 16; half-Armenian. Midfield. #7’s insecure sidekick. Just switched to contacts. She’s modeling herself on the cool girl, #7, but begins to rebel after a ski weekend gone wrong. Her mother is Soccer Mom, very involved in her life. Junior at St. Albans, Catholic all-girls school.
#8:
Female, 18+ to play 16; open ethnicity. Defense. Omigosh, plays dumb, goofy, giggly, excitable, a crier, a dreamer. Obsessed with The Lord of the Rings and making it to nationals in Miami. Her mom died when she was ten, and she never talks about it. She lives in a self-inflicted state of innocence. Junior at East High.
#00:
Female, 18+ to play 17; open ethnicity. Goalie. Intense performance anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionist, high achiever. She has a 4.9 GPA, is Editor in Chief of the high school newspaper, plays cello. Before every game, she stops talking and vomits. Militant. East High.
SOCCER MOM:
Female, 40s-50s. Manic with grief, warm, generous, she is a suburban woman who prides herself on her involvement in her teenagers’ lives. In the wake of her daughter's death, she sees herself as a mother to all, and would rather console her daughter's teammates than admit her tragedy. Never misses a game. Verbal dexterity is essential; she is spinning very fast to avoid looking at her unthinkable loss.
