The girls both went out from their soccer seasons with a bang. Madeline in the final minutes of the final game made a burst starting on her side of the field, sprinted with the ball to the opposing team's goal and from just outside the penalty box, gave a great kick and scored.
Madeline's party was fun. The coach made a video with pictures from the parents. This was played on the movie projection screen at the restaurant and pictures scrolled by while the team screamed and laughed, it was a lot of fun. Mom and I decided we really need that telephoto lens.
"Awesome," Madeline said describing the season, "it rocks, it's the best, it knocks me off my feet."
Terra's season ended undefeated. Due in part to that streak they entered a tournament with a total of four teams in the coed, under 10 division. Terra's world got just a bit bigger last weekend, and the team suffered its first defeats. The opposing teams were very good. They were obviously traveling teams. They knew how to pass, but Terra's team passes very well, too. These teams could kick from outside the penalty box, with accuracy, hard, and score. Terra's team hasn't played another team that could do that all season. Next year.
Terra says, "It was hard, a lot of the kids we played in the tournament weren't in our division. and that I got hurt." They were in her age group, we'll practice this summer.
