MY SOCCER STARS!

Now that the season is almost over I thought I'd do a little post about this years soccer experience. 

Savannah loves it more than she did last year.  She has really improved and is on a great team with an awesome coach.  We are lucky to have him at all.  There almost wasn't a U10 girls team because they couldn't find a coach.  This guy stepped in with only boys football coaching under his belt.  He has been great and has lead the girls to lots of victories! 


I love to see Vann out there with her little legs at full speed.  She can really move!

U12 is a little different.  Mainly the size of the field they play on.  It's been cool to see the more competitive games.   Payton still loves it...but might be trying football next year instead.  We will see how long that lasts.

Payton almost didn't have a team either.  There were not enough boys signed up for an Onalaska team.  So they dispersed the boys to other surrounding schools.  Thankfully we didn't have to go terribly far.  Napavine is just a town over from us.  And it just so happens that one of Payton's best friends is on that team.  They both were totally stoked about it.

Drake and Payton being goof balls!

I told the boys to enjoy this because it may not happen again.  It's been great seeing them on the field together as teammates!

Only a few more games to go and the season will come to an end.  Another year of soccer in the books.  It's bitter sweet.

For me, right now...it's more sweet than bitter!

How neat that Payton and Drake got to be on the same team together, in spite of attending different schools! :)
It sounds like your kids had an enjoyable soccer season! :)
I appreciate your feelings of bitter/sweet seeing another sport drawing to a close! That's how I always felt too and, like you, the feeling was mostly sweet! :)

It's great that they are enjoying it so much. Great coaches help that too I'm sure!!
I have to giggle "you're a 'soccer' mom!" :o) Hehe!!

Looks like they are pros!!!
