Our older kids played soccer growing up. They started when they were little...school age...and continued up until they were middle school/Jr. high age.
Keno and I didn't know much about the game when the boys were young. However, as the years went on we watched all those games practices and all those games and saw many coaching styles. We grew to love the game!
Go Sounders!
I will admit, it can be a frustrating game. The better team can lose and it is frustrating seeing the ball go back and forth with not much progress sometimes.
So now it is Sadie's turn!
She is not sure if she likes it. It is intimidating to get in there to kick the ball when there are so many other feet around trying to do the same thing. She is getting it, though. But she prefers playing goalie right now. Go figure!
Did you know that a soccer game is rarely cancelled?
Thunder and/or lightening are the only things that will cancel a game around here.
So yes, some games look like this...
If you are curious, the ball doesn't roll very well {at all} when it is a mud pit like this. It's a good thing we switch sides at half time.
We have had a lot of fog around here lately. Which is pretty rare. It's pretty eerie and cool at the same time to see the kids playing with those huge lights and fog behind them in the trees.
Two more games and then the season ends. It will be interesting to hear if she would play again. Pretty sure I'll put her in again next year. All that running is great!
One thing I do know...Sadie is in it for the trophy.
