Tournament Time

Ashley participated in her first tournament with U10. When the roster came out both Ashley and I were surprised to find out that she was on the Lime (A) team. She has been aware since she started Chica's that her footwork needs some improvement because she plays goalie most of the time. I feel this is why she is placed on the b team or c team. We do know that she has been noticed for her goalie skills and has been quest playing for the lime team a few times. She was excited to be with the lime team for this tournament. Ashley shared playing goalie with another girl and got some time on the field. She was in heaven. The move down to U10 from U11 has been a blessing in disguise. Leaving her friends from U11 was hard but she is starting to feel confident again and the coaches have done a great job of teaching and making things fun. Who ever knew? I am glad that she is loving it as much as she is because I love watching her play and I didn't want her to give up soccer.

It was a wet and cold weekend. I almost forgot to take pictures and didn't get the best because it was so windy. I loved watching her play even though the weather was miserable. Ashley's team came away from the tournament undefeated and the title of champion. Unfortunatly, no championship pictures for us. Sunday games make that hard but we are still excited they won.
