Soccer Mom...Again!

It's been several years since we've gone to a weekend tournament of any kind. For over 8 years we went to tournaments every weekend (sometimes more than one in two different locations) but we've been off the circuit for awhile!

Jordan was picked up on a soccer team this season and it has been such a fun group of girls for her to make friends with. She's never played organized sports like this, so going to a tournament was a big deal...the state cup, no less! She also has learned A LOT about soccer. Her coach has been super patient and the parents on the team were really encouraging as she learned to be a goalie;  when to come up and charge the ball, when to stay back, when to call it, when to dive on it, when not to touch it, when to boot it, how to place it, and how to stay focused through the whole game. She got time in the field too, but during the tournament she played a GREAT game in the goal. We're really proud of the athlete she's becoming but more thankful for the teammate she is!
