Fall = Soccer

Fall Soccer

I feel like I am officially a "Soccer Mom" after this season!

3 kids, 3 teams, 3 snack assignments, money gatherer for coaches gift, five days a week of practices and games, packing the car with chairs, blankets, umbrellas, hats, gloves, water, coats, and food. Some days felt like we were really going on a trip! Well, we LOVED every minute of it. There is something amazing about watching your children enjoy being active, with friends, and learning how to be a part of a team. We were so pleased with each of them!

Kiah #6

Her coach loved her on defense because she was not afraid to attack the ball and steal it from the opposing team. But, when he put her up front, she would score goals... one game she had a hat-trick! So, he would then put her back on defense! She loved "booting the ball away from the other team." I think her favorite part was being with all of her friends. She is very social! Her team was undefeated... and I guess that really matters at this level of play! ;)

Noah #8

Noah had a turning point this season... it was like it just clicked in him and he improved so much! We loved to watch him interact with his coach, he was VERY TALL and Noah thought he was AmAzInG.... He would say, "Mom, my coach is huge. He is like a giant!" I think that made Noah really look up to him in more ways than one! He did not love bing cold, but loved scoring goals, and loved being on a team with his buddies from school. Especially our neighbor, Quinn Clovis. Whenever the game stopped, you would usually find Noah wrestling on the grass with another boy, obviously not needing to take a rest. Where does he get his energy!?

Great Season, Noah!

Ella #8

Ella was so polite to her teammates. She gave hugs to them each time they did something good, or when they were feeling down. She was like the team counselor! She was so funny about her outfit and wore a black skort to play in and her hair "cute." She was adorable. But, don't let that fool you when it came to her soccer skills! It took a couple games, but once she caught on she was on FIRE! She scored 4 goals her last game, and told everyone around her the rest of the day. She was on a team with her cousin, Preston Frank, and she coaxed him to come out on the field and play a few times. She loved her first season of soccer because "I get a treat after each game and I got a trophy!" She liked being able to play and not just watch her siblings!
