Somewhere near you is a neighbourhood like Forest Gully...
                              ...or soon will be...
 

Sporter Girls live in Forest Gully, and are "Primary".

 

 

Sasha is a Sporter Girl.  She lives near Sasha, the School Scooter, and is also a School Scooter herself.

 

This causes some confusion, but it's no "Divide by Zero".  Most everyone gets it, after a while.

 

Sasha, the Sporter Girl, loves most sports, and plays many.  Her favourite sports to play are soccer, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, and rugby. 

 

And, as a Sporter Girl, she also teaches and coaches.

 

 

At the end of every school day, Sasha, the Sporter Girl, goes to a junior school to teach sports to school children.  She usually teaches soccer, but sometimes she helps another Sporter Girl with baseball and basketball.

 

 

She teaches for about an hour and usually includes a scrimmage.  Sasha sometimes conducts a game, when she has help from another Sporter Girl or one of the teachers.

 

 

After the hour is complete, Sasha co-ordinates with teachers, parents, and School Scooters to ensure that all of the children have a way home. 

 

There is a normal schedule, but there are often last minute changes each day.  Since Sasha is also a School Scooter, she sometimes handles the last minute changes.  However, she doesn't usually 'scoot' after she's been a Sporter Girl.

 

 

Sasha also teaches and coaches in the evening, at the Forest Gully Sports Complex.
