I don't know what happened to cutesy names like "Purple Butterflies" or "Pretty Princesses" but in our league, we are hard core and are named after Real soccer teams. Kind of a bummer if you ask me. But this cute little girl knows no different and is loving every minute of her 1st soccer experience.
So if you were to ask me if I wanted to run up and down a field in 90+ degree blistering heat, I would have to say NO. However, with red cheeks and lots of sweat Taylor runs up and down the field the entire time just hoping for a chance to kick the ball. At this age, the games are nothing more than a herd of little girls chasing after a ball. It doesn't matter if their team member has it or not, they just all want a turn to kick it. So far, everyone has kicked the ball in the right direction, that must be some sort of accomplishment, because I don't think we even keep score at this level. I just let Taylor believe that her team has won every time, is that bad?!
Taylor's 1 complaint that I hear after every quarter is, "I didn't get to kick the ball very much." She is learning though and she gets more aggressive each time.
I do think I could save myself some time and energy and my Saturdays by just arranging for a parents tunnel once a week because seriously that is their favorite part.
