Fall Soccer

I'm playing catch-up here, as many things have happened over the past few months, but I have not found the time to post about them...

Soccer this fall was interesting, as all three of the girls decided to play.  Madeline and Isabella were able to play on the same team, so that made things a little easier.  For some reason, the season seemed to pass quicker this year than last.

So, Madeline and Isabella played on a U7-U8 girls team.  Clearly they both showed improvement in their skills over last year.  Madeline played more positions than she did last year.  It seemed last year that she had her coach convinced to let her play goalie every game last year because it was her favorite position.  This year she played goalie some, but she also played offensive and other defensive positions.  Both of the girls enjoyed the social aspects of the team.

Sisters!

Headed toward the goal!

Defense!

Half-time pep talk from the coach

Hailey was really excited that they added her age-level to the league this year!  She could not wait to play on a soccer team.  She played on a co-ed U5 team, although she was the only girl.  I think snack after the games ended up to be her favorite part.

Team cheer

Kick off!
