"I could hear just all the excitement today. Everyone getting out of their shell and just being vulnerable, gaining confidence, feeling like they're all buying into something bigger than themselves," Morgan said. Let’s Go South Bay, a nonprofit started by moms and women in the South Bay, is putting on this girls soccer empowerment camp. The goal is to help 65 young teenagers, ages 13-15 years old, on the field, in the classroom and in life. The organization is hoping to build the girls' soccer skills, life skills, self esteem and so much more.One key part of the camp: it was at no cost to the girls participating.
