The team was founded/by
Luma Mufleh.//
She was the coach/of a girls’ soccer team/in Clarkston.//
One day in 2004,/Luma saw some refugee
boys.//
They were playing soccer/on the street.//
As they looked happy,/she asked,/“Can I play soccer with you?”//
The boys were suspicious/at
first.//
However,/once they played
together,/the boys noticed her soccer skills.//
That was the moment/when they
changed their attitude.//
Later,/Luma learned about the boys’ past.//
She realized/that they were able to forget about it/while they were playing soccer.//
She also understood the feeling of isolation/because she herself came from Jordan/at the age
of 18.//
She wanted to do something/for the boys.//
