Both girls are playing soccer this year, which makes us super busy! Erika is on the same soccer team that she was on last year...same coach and most of the same players. An added bonus for her, I'm sure, is that I am assistant coaching her team this year! Lucky girl! I am having a great time because at second grade, the girls can actually be taught some strategies and skills for soccer. Erika plays 4-on-4 with no goalie. She is so much improved from last year.....very quick and not afraid to get her foot in the mix to steal the ball from the opposing team.
Laurel is playing soccer for the first time and is a natural athlete! She is super quick and knows all about the game after watching her big sister play for the past two years. She is on a great team with a great coach! The girls play 3-on-3 with no goalie. It is a lot of just little herds moving around the field, but Laurel is pretty quick and can get the ball away from the other team when needed.
The girls had their first games this past weekend and play through the first weekend in November. Unfortunately, their games are almost always at the same time....in two different field locations in Newberg! Since I am coaching half of Erika's team, I will only be able to make about half of Laurel's games. But Matt and Levi will be there every time to cheer her on! I love soccer season and love that the girls enjoy it too!
Erika's team in Thundergirls and Laurel's is the Red Roses
