Allie and Avery had their first games last Saturday (March 9, 2013). We survived. In fact we did better than survive, we rocked SOCCER!!
Avery ran and kicked like a pro. She got hit in the chest with a ball pretty hard. It made her cry, but after sitting out for a few minutes she went back in as goalie. As goalie Avery stopped the other team from scoring. It was a great first game!
Avery has a good coach who has his team practicing twice a week. It's a lot, but Avery really loves it. Avery is so athletic and loves to run. She is super fast and is instantly good at anything she tries. So picking up soccer will be a breeze!!
Allie as you can guess was pretty nervous for her first game. She never had a practice, and outside of playing around with friends at recess, had really never touched a soccer ball. In all honesty she had every right to be nervous. All the girls on her team have played before and she was expected to play the whole game. They didn't have any subs. So Allie had to play the entire game. Yikes, right? Well... You would never have known that this was Allie's first game. She looked awesome out there. She was running and kicking like a pro.
A few minutes into the first quarter a scout for the club team in St. George walked up to me and asked me if I was Allie's mom? He asked me if she would be interested in being on the team up there. Can you believe that? Just a few minutes into the game and Allie is already the star and that's not even the best part.
Allie SCORED 2 goals back to back!!! It was so cool to see her rock the soccer field!! She had 2 of her teams 3 goals!! Not bad for her first time, wouldn't ya say?
My girls continue to amaze me! Here's to a good first season!!!
