Beth’s Best is highlighting preseason soccer practice for our 18” dolls. As much as the girls are loving summer vacation, Sophia and Carly are looking forward to preseason soccer practice at the new middle school field.

The bright star pattern jersey in this 18in doll 3 piece soccer outfit was fitting for the team name, The Superstars.
