soccer saturdays

Lila and Bennett are finally old enough to play "real" soccer, and they are THRILLED! David is coaching BOTH of their teams, because he coached Elise when she was 4, and he definitely has his hands full.
Last Saturday was our first double header, and they were both so excited about their games.






David drew first pick of uniform color this year, so hot pink it is!





Warming up the team...





Pre-game practice...






Go team!! Lila did great, she got right in there to try to get the ball, and played really hard. She also had a lot of fun socializing as well. She is definitely the social butterfly of the group- always trying to schedule herself a playdate or score an invite to someones house!







Next up were the boys...Bennett loves his cleats...and it does make it easy to keep track of him on the field!






Stretching out the boys...

Surprising, I think the boys game was a little more of a challenge for David than the girls. He had a few emotional girls, but for the most part they wanted to play. He really only had 4 boys that even wanted to get on the field...hopefully it will be better in week two!


Go team!!!





Practicing throw ins...

Lila and Bennett are both number 4...Bennett's fav....





Time to play!






Bennett had a great time and also played really well. I think he enjoys the post goal celebrations and falling down as much as he likes running though....



All in all it is very entertaining and they are having a blast...I love watching them play!

Although with two games each Saturday, I must admit I am a little thankful Elise is taking a break from soccer this season...then we'd have a really full Soccer Saturday...
