Last Game

Last game of the season and we all have mixed feelings. It will be really nice to take one commitment off our plates, to free up our Saturdays and look forward to winter, but it really was so much fun!!

My favorite moments were watching Adalie do her throw-in trick.... since most the other kids didn't quite get where to stand on a throw-in or which way it was going to be thrown, you could always count on Adalie it throw it in as hard as she could in the direction of the goal and then rush to the ball taking it down the field herself. Boiled down, the Adalie trick was a throw-in to herself.... and quite effective I might add! And watching Adalie stay with the play, always trying to get her foot on the ball despite being the smallest one out there!

And on the big girls field, I loved watching Josiah full back. One game, there was nothing between a breakaway girl with the ball and the goal except Josiah. And Josiah charged the ball, kicked it away and saved what looked like an inevitable goal. And Josiah is a thinker on the field... and that was fun to watch!

The only time I was really nervous was when our girls were the goalie.... that's a tough job! And as Adalie put it one day, not her favorite because "she would rather run with the ball than get kicked in the head!"

Josiah #9 of the all girls under 8yrs the Swarm on a throw in.

Josiah as goalie stops a shot.

Adalie drives the ball down the field for the under 5yrs Wild Horses.

Run Adie Run!

Adalie and Kaiya celebrate another good game.


I guess we will just have to look forward to next season!!
