Katherine has been in scouts and 4H for a long time. However, over the past year, she has become disinterested and spent the summer trying to figure out what she'd like to do this year. Soccer and karate. Really? My non-sports-minded kid wanted to do sports? So, we started with soccer. Her first practice was Sept 2 and her first game was the 10th. They played well, especially given that they'd only had 3 practices. They held their own in the first half, but lost 5-2 in the end. They were just flat worn out. That happens when you only have 13 players. That equals very little time to rest.
Katherine did a great job. I could tell that she was new to the game and sometimes had that confused "OMGosh, where am I supposed to be" look, but her teammates were great and called instructions to her. And her coaches are awesome and always have feedback.
She had practice again last night and again on Friday and then game two on Saturday.
I'll post a few pictures here, but if you'd like to see all 180 (this is culled down from the original 675), you can go to
