My name is Kelsie Royal.  I am eleven years old and I am in the fifth grade at Camp Creek Elementary School.  I am on the Honor Roll.  I enjoy school and socializing with my friends.  I enjoy shopping, roller blading, writing, reading, drawing, singing, hanging out with friends, and of course, playing sports as much as possible!  I played soccer for 3 years at GSA, swam for over 2 years at Eastside Athletic Club, played basketball for 3 years at Mountain Park, 2 of those years I played for the Jazz with Rutherford.  This past season we came in first for the season with an 11-1 record.  I have played softball for almost 7 seasons, all have been played at MPPAA (Mountain Park Park Athletic Association), except last year when Mountain Park Park was being worked on I played at Lilburn.  My team at Lilburn came in 1st Place for the season.  I am an extremely active person, and always enjoy some down time at the movies!  I am thrilled to be playing fast-pitch for Panthers Blue!  I am sure we will all have a GREAT season!
