First Day of Soccer

Well, today began the soccer season for the YMCA in Austin. The Kitty Cat is in KinderSoccer and the Transformer is in 1st-2nd grade soccer, so they are on different schedules. Fortunately, we managed to get the Transformer onto a team that would allow us to spend most of our Saturdays together as a family.

However, today we had to split up since each of their teams had a 10am game. I took the Kitty Cat to her game, and Kirk took the Transformer to his game. It was freezing! I think the temperature was around 50 degrees by 10am. They both had a great time. I got some footage of the Kitty Cat, but I need to get some footage from my husband for the Transformer. You can see her on the left with the pink sleeves.




The Kitty Cat was having a ball just running all over the field. She took a few shots at the ball but hesitated at other times. She stayed pretty close to the coach while on the field. (In KinderSoccer, there are few rules, and the coaches and referee are all running around on the field with the players.) They have 15 minutes of practice just before games, meeting only for an hour on Saturdays for practice and game.

The Transformer will have practice for an hour every Monday evening as well as a game every Saturday.
