Held at Shirakawa Elementary in San Jose, 18 teams of approximately 8-10 girls each, came together for a day of flag football! Our AmeriCorps members did a great job both coaching and reffing for this event, in which all participants got a chance to play the game, meet someone new from another school, and exert some energy! It was apparent from the abundance of smiles, that everyone had a great time!
