No Wins....but Great Soccer!

This week we only had 3 soccer games.  Ethan’s was the first in the morning.  He played well, and his team did much better than I expected.  They really have some potential, if they can hold their positions.  Ethan played forward the whole time.  They lost, but it was a high scoring game.  

 

Aubrie’s Cheetah Bears game was intense. A girl on the opposing team (number 10 ) is really good, so Aubrie was moved from forward to defend her.  That girl didn’t score or assist a goal the whole game.  Aubrie shut her down every time.  The girl was VERY frustrated because she isn’t used to being shut down.  All that time with Andy, and playing defense on the boys indoor team really made Aubrie tough and good.  I know she likes scoring goals, but defender is definitely her strength!  They tied 2-2, but I was happy with that, because they are the toughest team in the league.  

 This team has been really good for Aubrie.  They all appreciate her, and she is one of the stars.   Coming from doing well in gymnastics, to nothing, she needed this!  I’m so glad it worked out that she is on the Cheetah Bears, and also still with Andy.   She also picked up a tumbling class.  I really saw that gymnastic light in her eye when she was there, especially when they moved her up a class within the first 10 minutes.  The owners of Desert Tumbling use to coach at Sunrays, so Aubrie already got  their attention and feels so welcome and at home.  I’m so glad I decided to put her there!
Aubrie also had an indoor game.  They lost, but she played well, and pulled a calve muscle the last minute of the game.  She hit the ground and no one new what had happened.  We thought she broke or sprung an ankle at first.  She rested and iced, and medicated in time to babysit that night.
