Soccer Wrap Up

After a year hiatus, we were back in soccer again! Penelope said she wanted to play, but she was too nervous to take the field at practice and after three tries, we decided to wait for another season.

Claire and Miles both enjoyed their teams and improved this year - though I think a lot of that was from actually getting to practice with their dad at the park and getting one on one attention.

Miles was a striker this year and Claire was a defender, so she didn't get many chances to score. Miles scored often and was voted MVP of his team. He even scored from mid-field: after a weak kick off by the other team he ran in and booted the ball, taking everyone by surprise especially the goalie. The ball rolled right through his legs! It was a great season!
