Soccer Girls

As I've mentioned before, this spring saw both girls playing recreational soccer for a local city league. The schedule of having two kids in a sport was gruelling... I don't know how parents maintain these type of routines season after season! We had a VERY VERY rainy spring so we had lots of rescheduled games and missed practices which further complicated our schedule. Such is life, I guess!

Emma played U8 again and had the same coaches she had in the fall-- as well as a number of the same children on her team. Team Avalanche had a good season and went 2 rounds into their tournament. Emma's skills have really improved and she was excited to score another goal this season! We were really proud of her.

Abbie decided, after watching Emma's fall season, that she would like to give soccer a try this spring. She played at the U10 level and was the only child on her team who was a brand new player. Abbie also improved greatly and was excited to score her first goal during Team Defiance's win at the championship game!

Both girls say that they'd like to play again this fall... so I suspect our evenings will once again be spent with picnic dinners at the rec fields!
