Faith officially kicked off her first AYSO soccer season yesterday! Her team, the Silver Stars (yes, they did choose that name knowing their team color was red!!), lost the game, but Faith loved playing! It was so much fun to watch! Being a U6 game, the girls traveled in mass following the ball all over the field! We were proud that Faith was so into the game, didn't use her hands, and got in some good kicks! At this age, five girls for each team play at a time, and there are four five minute quarters. Faith's team has seven girls, so two girls need to sit out each quarter. Faith had to take her turn out the last quarter, and she was so upset about it she cried! She just wanted to keep playing! Thankfully the great post-game snack got her out of that funk!!
Warming up!
She scored quite a few goals...in warm-ups!
The mass of players around the ball! Faith is number 9. She wanted to be number five, but since she is one of the taller girls on her team, she was given the biggest uniform! Once she heard that it was Aunt Betsy's number, it was okay!!
All running after the ball! The team they played was also red, so that team wore the penties.
After each quarter she came running to the sideline for some water. It was cute!
In front of the team banner. Each team orders a banner - this is serious stuff after all! We celebrated a great first game with ice cream afterwards!
