Soccer Season Off & Kicking!

Both kids have been begging to play soccer since last fall. We missed the sign up for fall. We were too busy for spring. So this summer I signed them up for the fall. Everyone was excited for the first practice - new cleats, new ball, new experiences! After the first practice, no one wanted to go anymore - too hot, too many new experiences, too little knowledge of soccer. It was like pulling teeth to just get to practice & get them to play in the games.



They play two games every Saturday and have practice one night a week (different nights of course). After Kate's first game, she really started getting into it. She is a DEFENDER. Her coach pumped her up about what a great DEFENDER she would be & now that's all she can talk about when talking soccer.



She really is doing a great job!

Last night they had games instead of practice. They even got to play under the lights - very exciting.





She is really becoming quite the DEFENDER and getting into the games.

Brett really enjoyed playing for the first couple weeks and still will occasionally, but he uses his soccer time a little more for social time instead. He's found a little girl named Hannah that he really likes. So now he only wants to play if Hannah is playing. If they are put in a different times, he wants out when she goes out so they can "hang out" on the side line. She's the little blonde.



He is pretty smooth about getting by her. If you get between him & Hannah, he will ease you out of the way without you really even realizing it.



Smooth I tell you.
