And the SPORTS Begin

Kalena has been asking us to let her play soccer for over a year now. We finally signed her up to let her play. I LOVE sports and would love to see the kids play, but it is only if they want to do it. Cliff and I have chosen to let them decide for themselves and we will not force them (even though I would love to be one of the mother's cheering for them).

Yesterday was her first game without any practices. She did a ton of running and even had a break away, but to the wrong side of the field. I didn't know which end they were going for so I kept hollering for her to kick it in the goal. Luckily she didn't listen to me and just kicked the ball out so the other team had a corner kick. She will be a good if she wants to keep playing and learns the skills of the game.

Cliff is going to be an EXCELLENT support and just tell the kids what a wonderful job they did. Just what they need, instead of someone always correcting them on everything they did wrong.

The coach explained to a few of them on what she meant when she yelled "turn the ball." I don't think Kalena really got it, but she says she did. I loved watching her just run around and chase after the ball.
