Soccer Season is among us


We spent the morning at the baseball field and the afternoon at the soccer fields.  Ella Catherine had 2 games this afternoon.  She decided that she wanted to try out for a club soccer team this year, the same team that she played indoor soccer with last year.  She made the team and we have enjoyed watching her strengthen her skills and learn more about the sport she loves.  Club soccer is definitely a different level of play and it has been fun watching her rise to the challenge.  She prefers to play defense and so that is where she mainly plays.  Although on occasion she gets the itch to play offense and try to score.  All in all, It was a gorgeous day to be outside watching your children enjoy organized sports.

Warm -ups: Calling for the ball
Warm-ups: Trapping the ball


warm-ups: stretches

Getting muscles warm and game ready
While sister was warming up, Carter and dad got in a little batting practice
Doesn't everyone use a soccer net as a batting box?
Game Time
And she is off
Getting the ball down field
Big boot: Love how she puts her whole body into it
Taking the penalty kick
Her approach
Again putting her whole body into a big kick down field.  Crazy is it almost went in the goal but the keeper got it.
