Soccer!!

March-May 2016: Soccer Season

This was the first year that BOTH Blakely and Banks were eligible for soccer, and we have been dreaming about them playing on the same team!! They had a great season, and had so much fun with their team and Coach Katy (who is a very patient woman).

Soccer Try Outs!! The kids had to go to a skills assessment workshop to get "placed" on a team. I found this comical, as our obvious skill level was ZERO!

Blakely did FABULOUS at her assessment! She did every thing that she was asked to do, and she never got frustrated! Proud of my girl for trying something new!!

The games were fun (read challenging), but everyone loved practice!!

Blakely's favorite part of practice was learning how to do "hands in" and "go team." They did it over and over and over at practice!!

Predictably, their favorite time of all... team snack!

I always had to make sure to pack a juice box and snack pack for the 10th "member" of the team... Katy Ellis!!

Getting stretched out and ready for their first game!!


"Hi Mom!!"

Getting ready for Kick off!!


There was a lot of running...

...and more running...

...but mainly confusion as to where the ball was.

These two mainly just followed the pack of kids... and OCCASIONALLY made contact with the ball! ;)

KE's game side entertainer!!




Go Pumas!!! Good job!! So proud of these kids!! They had to play in some REALLY HOT conditions, and they barely complained!!

There were a "few" pre-game starbucks runs! ;-)

Buddy Shot!!
Thank you Coach Katy for an awesome first soccer season!!! The kids had an amazing time, and it was so fun to cheer them on together!!
