Brooklyn Varnadore Bio

COACH SANCHEZ ON VARNADORE: GÇ£Brooklyn is probably our most versatile player. We feel like she can play on any of the three lines for us. I can see her as a wide forward, a wide midfielder (depending on our formation) and she can also play center midfielder. Brooklyn also has the athleticism and mindset to potentially play an outside-back. SheGÇÖs great in the tackle and has an incredible work rate. We feel she has that versatility that she can play probably anywhere on the field for us. WeGÇÖre excited to add Brooklyn to our class and like a lot of our players; she has a lot of versatility.GÇ¥
