We had our last game with the girls' soccer team this past weekend. The girls lost 4-3, but it was a good game. All the girls played really well!
Had to get a pic of Morgan and Lynnea! I think this is probably her best friend on the soccer team. Lynnea also plays on both the white and black #1 teams (and she plays on the Select team - she's busy!) They both love soccer and get along really well.
After the game, we met up with Mama and Papa at Citrus Diner for lunch.
Reflections on our first soccer season with Roadrunners... I'm so glad that we joined this club. You can see such improvement in both girls since the season started. It's been a big learning season for them. We came from the park district where although they tried to teach girls positions on the field, it was kind of a free-for-all as far as if you got the ball and could score, just go for it. Morgan was always all over the field from one end to the other. But, now, the girls are learning positions and how to stay in their spots and be ready for the ball. Learning how to pass up the field and make plays. There are 9 girls on the field instead of 7 as well. Morgan mainly played 9 and 10 (striker). Avery was defense, usually a 4 or 3. We also really liked the coach. He pushed the girls without yelling/scaring them and gave them lots of good feedback. Morgan had such a great time that we decided to sign her up for the winter league. Avery is looking forward to a break from soccer. :)
