First Soccer Practice

Brookelyn had her first soccer practice with her new team, The Breakers, on Saturday morning. She was SO excited!

Here she is thinking about her big day:

We got there and got set up. B-man took his post in his own little lawn chair. He loved watching the girls, but he REALLY wanted to play!

Coach Allen started by stretching all the girls out really well. (Notice B-man is in the circle too.)

Then, practice started!
Here is Coach giving the girls a super pep-talk!

The star player takes the ball down the field!
At the end of practice Coach Allen let the girls have a little fun with the parachute. Notice his whistle? It might be taken away at home if he can't learn that it is for use ONLY on the field--there are no soccer players in this house!
It was an amazing first practice! I am not sure who had more fun, the girls, Coach Allen, or all the parents watching! Tomorrow night Coach David takes the reigns, as Allen will be out of town. The Breakers home opener is Monday September 13th at 6pm!

We might have to come cheer them on! I think Joseph would love to watch a game and actually know a player.
