Seeking:
#11
Female, 18(+) to play 17, open ethnicity. Position: Midfield. Attends East High. A know-it-all who doesn't shirk from showing her smarts, which can make her unpopular at times. Intellectual and deliberate. Writes for the school newspaper and watches documentaries.
#25
Female, 18(+) to play 17, open ethnicity. Position: Captain. Attends East High. The spirit and soul of the team, she keeps morale high and her teammates in line. A leader and a hard-worker. Compartmentalizes her feelings, especially when she makes an unexpected discovery about herself.
#13
Female, 18(+) to play 16, open ethnicity. Position: Midfield. Attends East High. Aloof and at times inappropriate, she is the class clown and resident jock of the team. Classic tomboy. Funny, but sometimes at the expense of others. Marches to the beat of her own drum.
#46
Female, 18(+) to play 16, open ethnicity. Position: Bench. Attends East High. New girl. Not used to social situations due to her homeschooling as a child, and it shows in her awkward style of relating to her peers. Lives a little in her own world. Different. MUST have the ability to perform an extremely difficult soccer move, such as juggling the ball for a minute.

Female, 18(+) to play 16, open ethnicity. Position: Defense. Attends East High. Honest, pure. Has lived a sheltered life. Is a member of her Church's youth group, serves as caregiver to her younger siblings. Unlucky, but kind. Has an eating disorder.
#7
Female, 18 (+) to play 16, open ethnicity. Position: Striker. Attends St. Albans, an all-girls Catholic school. Thinks she's mature enough to have a college-aged boyfriend, but still wears thick eyeliner to show how edgy she is. Parents went through a bad divorce. Acerbic and derisive.
#14
Female, 18(+) to play 16, half Armenian. Position: Midfield. Attends St. Albans, an all-girls Catholic school. Just wants to be liked, attaches herself to the cool kids. Insecure, bit of a follower. Daughter of Soccer Mom, who is very much a helicopter parent.
#8
Female, 18(+) to play 16, open ethnicity. Position: Defense. Attends East High. Airy, precious, giggly. Easily excitable. Living in a state of dreaming by the force of sheer will. Mother died when she was 10; never talks about it.
#00
Female, 18(+) to play 17, open ethnicity. Position: Goalie. Attends East High. Type-A. Constantly jittery and scared, she has a near perfect GPA but performance and social anxiety. Editor in Chief of the school paper, accomplished cello player, vomits before every game. A wreck disguised as a triumph.
SOCCER MOM
Female, 40s-50s, open ethnicity. Deals with the death of her daughter by not dealing with it at all. Thoughtful and unselfish, she'd rather help those around her cope. Affectionate, but grief has put her in a frenzy. Exists on another level from those around her. Has never missed one of her daughter's games.

Female, 60s. A sentimental older woman with barely hidden strength. She has a sparkle in her eye and manages to tread the line between innocence and immodesty.
LEN
Male, 60s. A professor at Harvard. He is intellectual and sharp, but is likely past his prime. Slightly scatter-brained, he either misses the point completely or provides insight.
ANDREA
Female, early 40s. High-strung with a dark sense of humor yet achingly sincere. She is protective of her brother without being overbearing, at least in her eyes. Tries her best to overcome a rough start to life and isn't always successful.
