Spring Soccer

Well, spring soccer is almost done so I am catching up by trying to post pictures from all season long. Highlights from this year were:
1) Megans first year in soccer. We weren't sure how this would go as when we took her to soccer tots two years ago she was completely scared of being around all these kids and didn't have any fun. She liked the idea of getting a trophy this year so she wanted to sign up. She has done great and had alot of fun. It's mostly a heard of kids chasing the ball around but she stays in the mob and kicks the ball when its infront of her.
2) Michael has loved the goalie position this year (except when the grass is wet and muddy). He always wants to practice goalie and does really well. I can tell he has a real "thinking" mind because he is always watching everything on the field and trying to point out where team mates should go. I was the coach again this year, and only coached his team, because more than one team was too hard, and girls were too hard to coach.
3) Rachel's age (11-12 year olds) shows a real size difference now. Some girls are a foot taller than the smaller ones, some run really fast, some play multiple sports, etc. It looks like this is the last year Rachel will play unless she really starts practicing lots on her own at home. She had fun again this year and had one of her friends on her team which made it more fun.
