Click to be my pen pal.

Hi my name is Amber Holland. I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old, my first team was with the boys & girls club. When I was old enough my parents signed me up for AYSO. I really had a great time in AYSO especially when I made my first All-Star team in my last year of U10. That year opened a whole new door for me in the life of soccer. Soccer made me have a dreams that I can work towards. My dream is to earn a scholership to a great collage through soccer and or other sports that I love to play. Maybe even the Olymipics !!!

Something that people notice when I play soccer, besides my curly hair, is that I run on my toes. They always ask “why do you run & walk on your toe's?” my answer is “I was a dancer and it totaly shows on the field.” I started Ballet when I was 3 and stopped when I was 9 years old to concentrate on soccer and found that out that I was pretty good! So now I'm playing for Santa Barbara United and heading for Norway to play in one of the worlds largest soccer tournement, it is amazing!

In my spare time I like to do a lot of other activities. I like to play Volleyball, surf, swim, hang out with my friends, talk, sing, listen to music and much more! I love animals and have two dogs and two cats. I have a lttle sister, Carly and along with my Mom & Dad my whole family are my biggests fans ! I am really looking forward to playing for Santa Barbara United! I can't wait to bond with all the girls and have an amazing time in Norway playing my favorite sport—Soccer!
