Maris and Emma’s Fall Soccer Montage

Maris had fun playing her first season of club soccer! She did great, playing mostly defense.  Here you can see her being agressive, and turning the ball around on defense!

Getting to the ball first! and with a proud mom and dad!

Running in on the right of this picture, and here on the end of the bench listening to the halftime coaching.

 But Maris's favorite part of soccer is the team!  The girls are so fun and cute. Here's Coach Alyson, Daya, Addison, Addie, Henley, Taya, Maris, Emma, Livie, and Taylynn. And Taya's Dad, I can't remember his name haha. He was the assistant coach. And missing one girl, Charlotte.

Emma enjoyed kindergarten soccer!  She was the best dribbler on her team!

She is very focused, and you can always spot her in those yellow socks!!

Sadly she didn't get to score any goals, because Salem City is dumb and insists on having goalies for 5 year old soccer. On the tiny goals. So the only way to score is to have an AMAZING shot or get lucky with a goalie not paying attention. Well all of Emma's shots were on breakaways, as pictured below, and she didn't get lucky.  Oh well, she still did great and had fun!  

Poor Emma's team suffered from their games being on the same nights as Whitney's HS soccer games.  So Eric and I were always scrambling to have one of us coaching Emma and one watching Whitney... it was CRAZY.  So Emma will be playing in SF from now on- they play W/F nights. 

Peace out Salem Rec Soccer!  It's been a fun 8 years.
