Little Miss's First Soccer Game of the Season

The veteran Superstars team had their first game of the season this morning! They did pretty good too :) The score at the end of the game was somewhere around 3-9 (we lost but had a great time). We had two new players join the team this year and the practices are going well (when it's not too wet to practice). We're looking forward to a great season and hopefully a couple of wins!

Little Miss's Soccer Games

GO SUPERSTARS!

Little Miss's Team - the Superstars - have been learning a lot and doing great at their soccer games. And Coach Ryan has had a great time as their soccer coach.

I don't think we've actually won a game yet (they don't technically keep score) but we are certainly having a great time. I put off letting her play soccer because I didn't want us to get too busy but surprisingly we are really enjoying all of the practices and games this season!






Here are a couple of pictures from her last couple of games.

Little Miss's First Soccer Game - Go Superstars!

We've had a lot of firsts these last couple of months!

Today we finally had our first soccer game. With all of the rain we've had lately our first two games of this season were cancelled so today was the beginning of our soccer game schedule.

We are a brand new team and have only had a couple of practices but I think we did great! We scored 3 goals in our hour long game and the girls really learned a lot about playing soccer competitively today :) Can't wait for practice on Thursday and our next game next weekend!

Little Miss's First Soccer Practice (with Daddy as the Coach)

Little Miss decided this year that she wanted to start playing soccer. So last month we quit gymnastics and signed her up to play soccer. When I signed her up I asked that she be placed on a team that had kids from her school so that she might know some of the kids. We lucked out because two of the girls on the team ended up in her kindergarten class. Just after we signed her up we received an email asking for volunteers to coach and Ryan decided to sign up. Little Miss was so excited that Daddy was going to be her coach.

Ryan went to a couple of coach's meetings to learn how to coach 6 year old girls, we went to the sports store to get all of his gear and her soccer gear and we set up some practice times. Soccer is now officially under way! I ordered the uniforms last week (fuchsia and black) and we've got practice now once a week and a game almost every weekend until November.
These pictures are from their very first practice session with Coach Ryan. Each girl brings their own ball and Ryan taught them how to kick with the inside of their foot and had them dribble the ball around the cones. We had to cut practice a little short because there was a thunderstorm coming from the north and we saw the lightning and called practice.

The girls did great for the first practice though and I think this season is going to be so much fun!
