2011 Fall Soccer #3: The Chameleons

We had the first game of the morning so everyone was fresh and ready to go. This week they played the Silver Chameleons on Field # 9. One problem with the first game is that everyone is slow to arrive which makes the game start late. Our girls were ready to go.

They are off

Working hard

Who has the ball?

Defense

Half Time pep talk

Which goal is ours?

2nd Half and on the run again.

Team Cheer!!! Go Chameleons!!

This week the teams were evenly matched. I believe we scored two goals and they had.

Reganne played 3 quarters and had to sit out the 4th quarter which she wasn't happy about. Each child must sit out one quarter. The coach decided Reganne would be best at during the first of the game and tired at the end. She surprised everyone by wanting to continue. She had some really great blocks and kicks playing defense. However, she was disappointed that she didn't score a goal this week. I reminded her that she stop 2 goals and that was just as important and as hard to do as scoring. I am not sure she believed me, but she smiled and gave me a hug.

Again we left the field with smiles all around.

Game #1 the Purple ???

Soccer Saturday dawned bright and sunny a perfect day for a game at least for the first game of the morning. Opening morning can be very crazy with fields not completely marked or setup. Coaches gathering players and timid players not sure if they really want to be there. We played the Purple ?? to be named later.

The whistle blew....

Kick Off

A Goal!!!

Kick the ball...

Get it!!!!

It was a great first game with alot of room to grow. Goals were scored and cheers were loud and proud. By the end the girls started remembering how much they enjoyed this crazy game of soccer.

Fall Soccer

Finally it is time for soccer. Fall Season began this week with a bang. Team meeting, practice, and finally first game. Reganne is really excited to be playing again and even happier that the team color is pink. Her team this year is "The Pink Pirates" in the U08 Division of AYSO. They play on bigger fields with 5 on 5 play.
