First Soccer Games

The kids started their games a few weeks ago.
Jackson's games are on Friday nights. He only has 12 kids on his team, and one has been out of town the whole time. The first week they played with 11, and last week they played with 9. Neither weeks they had any subs. They were all so tired by the end. They lost both games. The last one they got crushed 0-9. The other team has been playing together for awhile and they had 5 subs. So when our kids were too exhausted after running hard for the entire game, the other team was feeling very refreshed :) But Jackson still says it's better to have no subs than to have 14, which is what would have happened had they not split into two teams.

Coleman's coach showed the kids their positions using their water bottles. Coleman is much more involved this year. He goes after the ball and kicks it. It's very exciting to watch :) His team has also lost both games they've played and have yet to score a goal. But they have a lot of fun! 

Kenzie is playing hard as always. They tied the first week and lost last week. They have been good games and the team is playing really well together. I love watching them spread out and pass like they're supposed to.

There's a new playground and Covington Fields. The kids love playing their during their siblings' games. Coleman is riding on the zip line.

Jordan is doing great this year too. His team has won 2 and lost 1 (I think. I don't remember for sure if they won both their games in the double header, but I think they did:))

Coleman played goalie on his last game. He did great, stopping a lot of balls and not letting one past him.


So many girls on Kenzie's team!
