Annaliese and Lydia were both very excited about the Spring Soccer season; we signed up for it several months ago and Lydia told everyone she knew that she was playing! They were both signed up with Rebel Rec, so all of the games and practices were at Bender Field in Lynden, which was very convenient.
Lydia was on a team of 5 yr old/Kindergarteners. They play 4-on-4 with no goalie. Her team had lots of enthusiasm but not a lot of natural talent. They scored a few goals throughout the season and maybe won one game. The very first day Lydia preferred to stand by her coach and 'rub' her soft sweatshirt and when she went out on the field, she didn't move. I was a bit worried about how the season would go, but it didn't take long for her to get into it.

Annaliese was on a team of 3rd and 4th graders. They played six-on-six plus the goalie. Her team played really well together and they had a great season. Unfortunately, they lost in the semi-finals of the final tournament, which they were all very disappointed about.
Haleigh was an amazing sister, and while she didn't spend much time cheering for her sisters, she kept herself entertained during the many hours spent at the soccer fields. It helped that Malachi and Elias were also playing soccer so Malachi was frequently around. And between an abundance of snacks, doing gymnastics, and even just hanging out in the van with a good book, she was a good sport!  |
