Mid-Season Soccer Update

Although I haven't posted pictures of every soccer game, my girlfriend Leslie took some great shots at both games last weekend and I just love them. Allison is having a great season on the Lightning Horses, playing half the game as goalie and the other half on the field. She has scored several goals, has improved as goalie, has a very nice punt kick and has designated herself Team Captain. We often hear her telling players where they should be or checking to make sure a player is OK after an injury. She has some great friends on the team and has really proved to be a strong soccer player.

I would say she is having fun!!


Taylor's team, Charlie's Angels, is now tied for 1st place out of 22 teams with a record of 6-0-1. The team is working well together and getting stronger each week. They prove each game that they are in it to win it! Taylor has continued to do well at left forward, but is also helping out on defense when we are trying to protect our lead. She has great footwork, but has struggled to get power with her left foot. She has been working hard to improve her left foot skills, but often turns her body so she can take a shot with her right foot. It paid off with 2 goals today in our 3-2 victory! It has been a real thrill to be the Asst. Coach for her team and be part of this great season. With only 3 games left in the regular season, we are looking forward to advancing to playoffs and hopefully even on to Commissioner's Cup in December. We will just take 1 game at a time!
