Sara on the ball!

Connor and Keani on defense

The girls had another excellent day today, with 4 of my 6 girls scoring goals throughout the game. One girl scored 2 points! The other team was much more aggressive than last week's team so it was a stronger challenge, but we still played well. Though I wasn't keeping score, I'm pretty sure we won by about 3 points. But winning's not the priority in AYSO, and it was nice to see teams playing on our field before us allow the losing team to score some goals without too much defense.

And Sara played her first game ever!!! She got to go to the movies and Fun Factory in celebration!

Ryan's big kick

Our boys struggled a bit more, but still played well. We had previously scrimmaged the team that we played, and they beat us then too. They have a really strong offense. Still, we could not get any scores in. But it was a good learning experience and gave me a lot to work on with the kids at practice. Oh, and speaking of "firsts", this game was Evan's first as goal keeper too!
