Soccer Season

Soccer started here last week.
They have 6 games in September and then the season takes a break and starts again in April.

They have already played 3 games. Tied (1-1) for the first, lost (3-0) the second, and tied (0-0) for the third.

She has a few players on her team that are in her class so that is helpful, and we are family friends with the coach. So it was an easy transition into soccer this year.

Things are a little different here than in Worland though. They have goalies, play on a normal sized field, and all players play at the same time......even if that means they play 14 on 14. It's crazy! As a result they do learn more about defense, mid-field, forward positions. They also play by pretty serious rules. Not what we were used to in Worland.
We find it kind of weird that they are so hard core with youth soccer when they don't even have a soccer program for the HS. Youth soccer goes to age 12 and then you are done. Kind of a bummer.

Here are a few pictures from the last 3 games. :)


GAME 1
I love how much she winds up to kick it. :)

GAME 3



This is just half the field.


 
 
She's having fun and is glad she is doing it again. We are glad she likes it too, we just need to work on her endurance! :)
