Click to be my pen pal.

My name is Une, and I am 11 years old. I came from Lillehammer in Norway to Santa Barbara last summer, and started to play soccer on AYSO. My first team was the Queen Cobras, and I played on that team the whole season until I was picked by Edward and Daniel to be on Santa Barbara United all-stars team. I was SO happy!!! On the first practice I felt like this was going to be a very good team. And it became!!!

After many cool tournaments this spring, we just got better and better. The team decided to go all the way to Norway to play soccer and show our skills. Last year my Norwegian soccer team played in the Norway Cup. It was really, really fun. And I think Santa Barbara United will do a really good job in Norway.

Outside of soccer, I like to play handball, tetherball, be with friends, and with my dog. A lot of my friends are from soccer. My favorite subjects are P.E. and Math. In Norway I have easier and shorter days at school so it was a big step to come to the USA.
