Last week we found out what team she is on and who the coach is, and she had her first practice last Tuesday. She is on the BLUE team, and she has 6 or 7 teammates. It is kinda hard to have a practice when the team is made up of mostly 4 year olds, but the coach had them practice passing the ball back and forth and they each got a couple chances at kicking goals.
Kylie did pretty good. She would occasionally get distracted and want to look at us for our attention, and not pay attention to the coach or where the ball was going, but she has got a pretty good kick! I imagine if she likes it enough and keeps playing, she could be pretty good at it!
She only has 6 games, and we will miss her Saturday game when they play against a team from Ten Sleep, but she will have 5 Tuesday games to play. I think that will be enough to keep her interested in it, but not wear her out. :)
The soccer U6 rules say that there are no goalies, and they don't keep score, so it doesn't really matter how good the kids are.
I tried to take a couple pics of her at practice, but I just had my phone so they aren't any good.
Tonight was her first game though.
It was....interesting. I think the team they played against had a few more practices. They don't actually keep score, but Kylie's team totally lost. :) They all had a blast though and that is point. :)
Here are some pictures from the game tonight. I tried to take video of the game, but they would always kick it out of bounds in less than 30 seconds. :)

Waiting for the whistle again to kick it in
Sidney being crazy
She looks so excited to kick it! :)
Juice boxes and fruit snacks all around for a job well done! :)
She has got to stop waving to us... :)
Her next game is next Tuesday. Looking forward to it!
