Today was the opening day for Concord Youth Soccer (CYS). Madison's team lost 2-10. ouch. This year it is 5th and 6th grade girls. Boy is there ever a height difference! We have a very short team compared to several of the other teams we've played. She played against Peyton's team. They don't like playing against each other. Tim and Tonya told me that Peyton told them before the game that "Madison knows all my moves!" and that she doesn't like to play against her. I agree. It's much better being on the same team. It's going to be a long season for Madison's team unless we set some realistic goals. Madison plays defense and the ball was down by our goal for about 90% of the game. May be that could be one of our goals... to get the ball down towards our goal more often! They are playing on a larger field this year and there were no subs so they were all dragging by the end of the game.
Peyton and Madison play it tight.
Quinn's team played against Nate's team. They tied, 0-0. That was a lot of work for no score! He played very well and played offense, defense and goalie. He said he was "so nervous in the goal. I thought they might score on me and then I would lose the game." Goalies bear too much weight on their shoulders. I'll be happier if he's not in the box either! He held Nate off from scoring during a fast break. Let's just say Nate was NOT happy about it and wouldn't even really talk to Quinn after the game! He even looked the other way while shaking his hand. Ha! I think Quinn's team will be decent this year.
The kids and I travelled to Iowa tonight. We got here at 9:45pm and had a good trip. I'll try and update regularly about our Iowa adventures.
Love, Leah
