End of soccer

C's soccer season officially ended on November 1st, although C's last game was on October 25th due to a conflict in our schedule. Overall I would say the season was a success. My goal was to have C learn teamwork, sportsmanship and to have fun.

Naturally teamwork and sportsmanship is an ongoing lesson, but the foundation was laid. Oddly enough, the fun objective was a little more challenging. Most practices were not enthusiastically attended; sometimes C refused to participate altogether. Game days were better, but she still often required some nudging to go out and play. Once she hit the field in a game though, she had a good time.

Just passing time.

Keeping Grace warm, I guess : )

Her team wrapped the season with a party at Players. The kids loved their party, and I think I can safely say that the highlight of the season for C was getting a trophy!

At this point I have no idea whether she'll want to play soccer again next year, but M's a pretty safe bet!
