Lightening

On Thursday Olivia had her first soccer practice. She is on the lightening team which consists of 6 girls. This is Olivia's first time playing soccer. When I say that it is her first time playing I mean that she has never even kicked a soccer ball. So like any good parents we talked to her on the way to practice in the car about the basics. You know things like not touching the ball with your hands and how to score a goal.

Listening intently to what the coach has to say.

A really cute soccer fan.

After the 30 minute practice there was a game. Nothing like jumping right in and practicing everything that you have just learned! Games consist of 2 ten minutes halves followed by snacks which I believe was the most exciting part for the kids.

Ready to start the game.

What do we do now?

The final play of the game.

The game ended in a 2-2 tie. In the car Olivia said that ending in a tie is actually a good thing. That way everyone goes home happy!
