The moment the final whistle blows to signal the end of an Orlando Pride match, four of the team’s top stars quickly switch gears immediately to a different role — celebrating with their children.
Striker Sydney Leroux’s 4-year-old son, Cassius, is always the first onto the field, while her 1-year-old daughter, Roux, toddles behind him. Fellow striker Alex Morgan’s 1-year-old daughter, Charlie, is a little slower onto the pitch, waiting for a caretaker to hand her off to her mom to be carried on a tour around the pitch.
At only three months old, Sloane — the daughter of captains Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger — remains on the sidelines, waiting to be bundled up in her moms’ arms on the pitch.
