Elkhart Flames vs Concord Minutemen

The Concord Junior High invited the U12 Flames to come and scrimmage them tonight. We are used to playing 8 vs 8 on a smaller field so it felt different to play 11 vs 11 on a large varsity sized field with only one borrowed sub. We lost 6-2 but overall I think we played very well. Madison even scored a goal while on defense!!!....for the other team. : ( Those goals happen some times. She stuck her leg out and the ball bounced perfectly off of it and into our goal. Thankfully this was just a scrimmage! I would say we did really well for 5th and 6th graders playing against 7th and 8th graders. The Flames had practice first so by the time the scrimmage was over they had been playing soccer for 3 hours.
Afterwards we made a trip to Mishawaka to drop the van off for some routine maintenance.
That's how we spent our evening... how did you spend yours?
