Soccer

Go Green Sharks!!

Another successful soccer season is behind us and what an improvement Baylee has made. This last season Baylee's team was able to have a goalie. They all loved it and would rotate each game. The field and nets were bigger and the games were much more exciting and competitive. Baylee made huge improvements this season. I'm not sure if it's from everyone offering her a dollar for every goal she scored or her new soccer shoes and PINK shin guards. When she first started playing soccer back when she was 5, she had more interest in looking at everything BUT the ball and skipping down the field (arm's linked) with her friend. We would get so frustrated because some games she wouldn't even run up and down the field. But this season she was AWESOME!! She scored many goals and was very aggressive with getting the ball. She loved playing goalie. We're sad that the games are over until the Spring. We were enjoying cheering for the Green Sharks.

OK, then there's Brinley's soccer experience. This was Brinley's second season playing soccer. She reminds me of her older sister. She would run up and down the field but never watched where she was going. There wasn't one game that she didn't run into another player, either on her team or the other one. Yes there were tears either from her or the other player. We finally told her that we would give 5 cents to watch where she was going and 10 cents every time she kicked the ball. She never made it to a dollar. She had fun and enjoyed playing. We loved watching and laughed our heads off at her games. The ball would go out of bounds and all the little 4 year olds would keep running after the ball even onto the other fields with other teams playing. Their uniforms were so big on them that the soccer shorts came down to their ankles and the socks we would have to fold over 3 times. I asked her if she wants to play again in the Spring and she told me she'll have to think about it. Maybe I need to get her some PINK shin guards.

She was more interested in posing for the camera than focusing on her game.

Go Lightning Bolts!! Yes, she was the only girl on her team. That was good because she probably would have linked arms too with the other girls like Baylee did.
