Kids vs Soccer: April-May

Zach and Alaina played soccer this spring on Wednesday and Friday nights. Zach and his cousin Jordon were on the same team. It was fun to watch them play together. Jeremy coached Alaina's team, the Pixies. It was a treat for Alaina! My issue with spring soccer was the weather. Most evenings were cold, windy, cloudy or rainy. I ended up in the van with Noah and Celeste watching a movie for many, many games.

There were a few games I got to see, though. There was one game I sat in the sun and cheered Zach and Jordan on! Oh, how I enjoyed that game! A lot of people remarked how quick Zach was. Although he was fast, he had less control when he tried to turn the ball. With each game, Zach got better. He made one goal the whole season. He got fouled and scored on the penalty kick. Jordan made most of the goals for the team.

Alaina ran with the other girls in a tight pack. It was impossible to get them to play any sort of position. They chased the ball around and the ball was kicked in all sorts of directions. Alaina was excited for people to watch her. She would run and wave and smile! "Look Mom" or "Watch me Mom" was what I heard often!
