2017 Rage Tournament

President's weekend means two things around our house.  The kids get a 3 day weekend so no school on Monday.  The other is the Rage Soccer Tournament and with multiple games scheduled come rain, shine, or even wind.  There would be no cancelling games due to weather so game on.....

Friday night we all froze from the wind and wet field.  The rain luckily stopped an hour before. Reganne played keeper once again and the team tried to find the team groove.  The final score was 6 to zero.  

Game 2 was Saturday and there was a break in the rain.  The team they were playing today was from Springville where bad weather doesn't cause any problems.  Reganne was going to play defender and leave the keeper job to Lucky.  

And the rain came.....


And came.....

Drenched.....
They played their hearts out but lost 3 to zero.  On the way to the car I asked the girls how it was to play in the rain & mud.  IT WAS FUN!!!



The third and final game we headed back to the fields at Riverside Elementary.  It was still rather wet but no rain.  The girls were eager to warm up and keep warm.  Reganne was going to be keeper again which she was fine with.  The team they were playing was from Logan so once again the cold didn't stop them at all.  The girls couldn't catch a break to score but they didn't give up.  The score was 7 to zero.  She had 24 attempts on her.  We were so proud of her and her determination to play and do her best no matter what.

These were good games for the girls.  Once again we have 5 new players with 3 never having played before this weekend.  Hopefully, with a lot of practice and good team work they can gel as a team and have fun this season.

Time to warm up and hang out with family the rest of the weekend.
