Soccer Saturdays

Another soccer season is finally underway and it couldn't have started on a hotter weekend. The temperature gauge only said 92 degrees, but it felt more like 102! Taylor is on the Black Widows and is #8. She is in her 1st season of U10 and the fields are so much bigger. Look, you can barely make out that it is her! She played center midfield all 3 quarters she was in and did a great job running back and forth between offense and defense. She even scored 2 goals in their 4-2 victory over the Angels. This is the 1st year of competitive play so the wins actually count!
Her coach had this great banner made and even gave the girls practice shirts that match. I think she will have a great season with some friends from the Mean Green Machine 2 years ago.
Allison moved up to U8 with her friends, Marley and Lorien. They are on the Glow Worms and she is #7. Don't you love the cute worm on their banner?
Allison played defender the 1st quarter, midfielder for the 2nd and 4th quarters and goalie the 3rd quarter. She made some great saves as goalie and scored a goal at the very end of the game. Despite some great play by the Glow Worms, they lost 2-1, but who is keeping score?
Allison was most excited when the game was over. She spent every break filling up on ice water and spraying herself down with the spray bottle. Hopefully, it will be cooler next weekend!
