Spring Soccer Season

Jack's 1st day of soccer

Soccer! (not sure why the pic was taken so far away??)

Learning skills from the trainer!

Spring soccer season has started!!! Ellie had her first game last Tuesday and Jack started on Monday. Ellie is playing with the same team that she has played with for the past few seasons (Team Lightning). It is the same group of girls and they are really getting pretty good. Ellie really enjoys soccer and is more in it for the fun than the competetiveness. It will be fun to watch the team develop this season! It is always amazing to watch the progression from the beginning of the season to the end of the season. GO LIGHTNING!!
Jack is playing for OFC for the 1st time so we now have 2 soccer schedules which gets busy. He was so excited to start because he has been watching Ellie play soccer since he was a baby! It was so fun for him to have a turn now and Ellie watching on the sidelines. He is just doing more of a training program where they have 6 consecutive training sessions where they work on different skills, etc. I don't think they actually play any games at this level but he has a team and it will be fun to watch them grow. I still can't believe he is old enough to play sports---where has the time gone :) Please stop growing up both of you!!! Looking forward to a fun but busy soccer season!
