soccer

Audrey started playing soccer this year. She had a great time! Her coaches actually tried to teach the girls how to play the game and what the difference is between offense and defense (instead of Richard's first coach that was just an adult on the field). Her team only lost one game. 

Audrey had one game that was against a team with one very talented girl. Audrey was the goalie and the girl kept coming at her with the ball. Audrey jumped on it so often that one parent said, "Who is the goalie's parents?" After I raised my hand he said, "She's not afraid of being kicked is she?!" The girl did eventually get past Audrey, but I was so impressed at Audrey's determination.

She finally scored a goal on her last game.

Richard also played soccer again this year and I took some pictures on my phone. I don't know how to get them off though... So, until then, just imagine it. He played really well and also had a great coach. I liked his team better this year, because there was a much better team feel. Last year, there were a couple of boys who were great and knew it. They never passed the ball and were always scoring goals. Richard just had a much better opportunity to actually get the ball and be actively involved instead of just running along the team asking someone to pass it.
