This spring Riley decided that she wanted to play soccer. The next town over has a soccer club, so we signed her up. Her team had one practice a week and then a game on Saturday. The purpose of this first year was for them to learn the basics of soccer, get some exercise and have fun. Not sure about the first one, but she definitely accomplished the last two:) She had fun playing with the kids and running around, yet not real aggressive with the ball. She never really got in there and tried to kick the ball. Mike was a little disappointed that she was not the next Mia Hamm or Brandi Chastain out there I think, but it was good to see her have fun. When we asked her if she wanted to play in the fall or again next spring, she said "no" so I guess we will just wait and see what things she will do in the future. We would like to see her have at least one activity that she keeps busy doing. Up next....swim lessons:)
Here are some pictures from different games throughout the season. (And a few from the first practice.) You can also see her number 1 fan cheering her on too!
