Emily had her first experience with soccer this fall, and despite breaking her wrist the night before her first game, she really enjoyed the season.  She is used to softball, so the constant running was an adjustment, but she had fun! As usual, her favorite part of being on the team was goofing around with the other girls. If they hand out trophies for silliness and giggling, Emily will win first place!

For the final game, Coach Stacy painted the girls' hair black and white (difficult to see in the photo) and painted their faces. The war paint and hair color were motivating, and the girls played a great game.  Afterwards, they wrapped up the season with trophies and cupcakes.




I think Emily will be back on the softball field in the spring, but perhaps there will be more soccer in her future!
