Soccer Fun!

The girls started to play in a recreation soccer league. They both are so excited to play and can't wait to go to practice or the games. They had their first game on Saturday. It was so much fun watching the both play.

A little pre game practice
 You notice Bree is in a white shirt above and below in her game she is in yellow...she got traded to the other team right before the game. :) Each team has to have 4 players to play and the yellow team(the Lions) only had 3 show up so Bree went to the their team for the game. This was her first year playing and she has been doing so good. She stays with the ball and runs hard to try and get it.

 She got the ball and taking down the field. After the ball ended up going out of bounds she jumped up and down, ran over to us and gave each of us kisses. She was just so excited that she got to kick the ball. I love her excitement over getting to do new things. The whole time she was playing she had the biggest smile on her face.
Katie's team is made up of 3 girls and one boy. Each team is suppose to have at least 5 players so they can rotate them during the game but for her team they all have to play the entire time. Her game on Saturday was the classic underdog story. The other team was all boys and they looked at our team and saw that is was basically all girls. I think they thought they had this game in the bag. It was really funny to watch the all boys team running round the field looking confused because our girls were running them all over the place. James, the one boy on our team was defending the goal and Katie, Lucy and Elizabeth were up and down the field. They ended the game with a 4-1 score. We were so proud of them and the were all so excited that they beat a bunch of boys. Coach Mike works them hard during their practice, he makes them run laps at the beginning and the end of the practice. He does a great job of teaching them the game and how to play and use their feet to move the ball where they want it to go.
