I think we can officially say we are a soccer family. Both girls are playing full time this year. Alexa's competitive team practices twice a week and has 1-2 games every weekend for 3 months. It's a bit much, but she loves it. Alexa's confidence has grown. Her athletic ability went from very little to thriving. She works hard and really gives it her all. We are so proud of her!
Addy has been in preschool soccer programs a few time. This season she started on a real team. They practices every week and have a game on Saturday's. The games are pretty mild. The only real rule is on goal kicks, the offense has to go back to the half way line. Outside of that, the girls run around.. learning positions and ball control. Addy has scored a few goals this season. She seems to understand positions and enjoys playing goalie and defense.
Both girls plan on trying out for competitive once this season is over. Alexa loves her team and hopes to stay on it. Addy is more particular and wants a certain coach with certain teammates. I think it will be a good life lesson coming her way soon. Until then... I will continue coaching like a crazy soccer Mom from the sideline.
