This spring we went back to playing soccer. It was a fun season with good weather and great coaches. I think soccer is a great sport because so many kids can play and it is constant exercise. My kids do not think soccer is great. This will probably be our last season.
They were on two different teams, but both teams wore orange. It was a great color as it stood out and was easy to find. It was not a great color for those that love the Gamecocks and hate Clemson. Baylie was on the Bengals and Jalen was on the Toros.
Our little all stars. By pure coincidence, they were both #10.
Baylie mostly played defense. By the end of the season, she was pushing back and not so timid. She even practiced having me throw the ball at her so she could let it hit her body without ducking out of the way.
I was glad that she was able to play on Jody's team. Jody was also her basketball coach. Jody's daughter, Charlie, is Baylie's best friend so they had fun being together. They are moving in a couple of weeks and we are really going to miss them.
Jalen is really fast, but he doesn't like running during soccer. Mostly he doesn't like being told what to do (his words).
Jalen's coach, Jarom, is also a friend of ours. In fact, he's Jody's little brother. It was great having the kids play for people we know and trust. Both coaches were really positive and did a good job teaching skills and knowledge of the game.
Both teams had good seasons. The Bengals went 7-2-1.
I feel overbooked with just two kids. How do people with lots of kids do it?!
