Well to say the least, this Fall has been crazy! I have so much to write about, but so little time to do it. But here is a snippet...
It has been soccer season for the last few months! I love soccer! My kids have been on the same team for a few seasons now. Caroline's team a few season ago were taking their lumps. They were lucky to sneak in a win. You find that with time, kids grow and improve. This season, they went 10-0 and won the tournament. Caroline had a great season. She scored a few goals and played some great defense! She was so much fun to watch this year. Very proud.
Maddie's Select team has been together for 3 seasons now. They are a solid team. Maddie has been planted in the Goal Keeper position this season.. she hates it. She takes every goal she allows so personally. So she basically came to the conclusion..if I have to play this position, i might as well play it well. Maddie has become a really good keeper this season. She has really stepped up her play. Her defense in front of her is great, which is always a big help. She allowed 4 goals for the entire tournament, which was the least amount for any keeper in the division. I only know this because our division made for a fantastic tournament. U12 Girls Red! Highly competitive! Very evenly matched teams. The fact that we had 3 ties this weekend in 4 games, sort of describes the parity. The girls tied the Tournament Champions in the final match 1-1. We finished 2nd in the league and in the tournament! We lost the first game of the season 6-0 and never lost again. 10-1-3 to finish up. Great season for the Capitals! Maddie has an opportunity to be a stifling keeper is she continues to learn the position, work hard and love to play keeper with a deep passion for the game of Soccer! I love soccer, but I really love my girls!
