Last week, we found out our team assignment, and it turns out that the coach lives just up the street, and I used to play in a neighborhood Keno group with his wife a few years ago, when Luken was still pretty itty bitty. This is a fun reason and time to reconnect, and their little girl will be heading off to Kindergarten with Keeley in the fall. :D
The team name is Golden Girls, and we have a sweet bunch of girls on the team! Several of them are real go-getters.
Their first game was this past Saturday. There is one regulation-sized soccer field in one section of the building, and they have sectioned it off into 4 small fields, and it is all surrounded by a wall of plexiglass. This makes for a less-than-ideal photographing situation, but I did my best!
Keeley chose jersey #5, because she is 5 years old. :)
Goooooooo Golden Girls!!!
The games are 4-on-4, no goalies, and substitutions are on the fly.
Here is Ms. Keeley during a rest.
She spied me looking at her, and flashed a sweet smile! :)
Woohoo! She got in on the action!
At halftime, Luken played waterboy. :)
I switched to a different vantage point.
Gooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll!
Here comes another one!
After 2 20-minute halves, the game was over. Our Golden Girls had scored 20 goals!!!!! Wow!
Here is a proud Daddy with his sweet soccer player!
Cutie!
Enjoying some celebratory Dippin' Dots. Yum. :)
That's it for game 1. We are enjoying watching Keeley learn to play. In that first game, she didn't get in there and kick the ball a whole lot, but she ran and ran and kept up with everyone just fine. I think once she gets a bit more comfortable with the whole concept, she'll be kicking away!
