Ainsley has played ODP and attended the Region IV camp in McMinnville, Oregon two summers ago.  She enjoys reading, watching soccer, art club, geocaching and playing video games when she's not playing soccer.  In the fall she bow hunts for elk in the Big Horns.  She volunteers at the Campbell County Public Library in her spare time.  She's a straight A student and enjoys competing in academic competitions.  Her favorite vacation was going to Canada and getting to watch the semi-final and final of the World Cup with the USWNT beating Japan for the championship!

 

During her Kindergarten year, Ainsley was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and hasn't let that slow her down in soccer.  She routinely checks her blood sugar several times before, during, and after games and sometimes hides sugar tablets in her soccer socks to eat if she feels low while playing.  Over the last year she has played with an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor always attached to her.  It has mostly gone unnoticed except once during check-in a referee told her she would have to take the iPod off before the game started.  She just laughed at that suggestion!  Because he is also a Type 1 diabetic, Jordan Morris is her favorite player to cheer for.
