Clair soccer skills are growing

The past couple years Clair has played soccer for one season and softball for another. The spring I am seeing her really take to the game. She has wanted to participate in every event even the extra ones. She is enjoying practicing at home with her brother. She knows all the moves. She doesn’t give up when she was in the game.

This past Saturday instead of regular games they had a series of street soccer games. This was eight short eight minute games where they played on different teams each time. Awards were given at the end for individuals who had accumulated the most goals. The clair didn’t win, I was so very proud of how hard she worked and how she stuck to it until the very end of the very last game. All the girls were tired after about three or four games. You could see their paces slow down. Claire have one game where she rested a bit as a defender by the goal, but otherwise she was really running. 

I really enjoyed listening to her try to encourage and direct her team at times during this event as well. She also scored two goals on Saturday. I’m so proud of her.

After the event her coach took everyone out for frozen yogurt. What a fun day!
