Flames Soccer


The Flames season opened this weekend. Altogether we had 5 games between yesterday and today. 1 win, 3 losses and 1 tie. (One was a Concord Youth Soccer game for Quinn). The Flames have new uniforms this year. How do you like that orange? Also a new change, Quinn is going to play some goalie this season. Today he told his coach he didn't want to play goalie the whole game. At half-time it was 1-1 against a Hispanic team (they are always very good). He didn't play goalie in the 2nd half and we ended up losing 5-1. Ouch. May be he needs to be in that box. I don't know. He doesn't want to get "stuck" in there all the time... wanting to keep his foot skills fresh too.

Don't you love this picture above of Madison and Peyton? How rare to actually get an action picture of them together. The U12 girls played really, really well this weekend. This afternoon they beat Chesterton 2-0. Madison is always happy to beat them because we've lost to them in the tournaments several times now.


Madison played great this weekend. Her coach told me after today's game how happy he was with how well she is playing and what a good leader she is on the field. (Sorry to brag, had to).


Quinn saves a goal in this picture. I'm finding it's very stressful for the soccer mom sitting on the sidelines when your son is the goalie! He has been going to a 1 hour goalie practice each week and has learned a lot.
