Lauren mentioned this fall that she wanted to play soccer. She has not played for years since she was on an Itty Bitty league with parks and rec...and she didn't exactly love it back then. But, her friend Cassidy's dad is the coach, and he had an opening this Winter on the indoor league, so we signed Lauren up. The games are on Saturday's, and there are no practices, so it works fine in our schedule.
She mentioned Saturday morning that she was nervous. I told her not to worry. Coach Brian would tell her what to do. Remember, she has not had any practices...Here he is talking to her before the went into the game. (sorry, the quality of the pictures are not great. Bad lighting and trying to snap pictures through the net don't make for great pictures, but you get the idea!)
He put her in on defense, which Mark thought was a good idea.
She did really great considering it was her first game, with no practice! Her team had fun and so did Lauren!
She mentioned that she wants to play on a Spring and a Fall team as well. We will see if this love of soccer continues through the Winter months. Perhaps we will move onto another sport this Fall...time will tell! But as for now, Mark and I are excited that she is playing and looking forward to her progress this Winter. Way to go Lauren.
