Fall Soccer Season

Both girls have been playing soccer this season.  It really hasn't been a matter of skill, neither of their teams are that good, but the girls have been getting some good exercise.

Ashley has been the number one scorer on her team.  She has scored almost all the goals this season.  She is by far the most skilled player on the team, her biggest problem is bulk.  She is so light that she is constantly getting knocked down.  After one game, she said, "I don't understand why I keep falling down, I'm not trying to."  I told her the problem is that everyone weighs about 25 lbs. more than her, she gets bumped and just goes flying.  We got to bulk that girl up!

Paige also played this season, after skipping last season.  I signed both the girls up at the last minute, so they both ended up on random teams.  Paige played with a lot of new players, but her coach is probably the nicest man I've ever known to coach a team.  That haven't won any games, but he is just so nice, we  don't even mind.



The season runs through the end of October and then we can reclaim our weekends, or at least that's what I like to tell myself.

  1. Man! I wish I could see them! Are they as good as their mom? Do they even know how good you are? Is the soccer scene as big in Illinois as it is out here?
