She has played in AYSO soccer for 10 years, she was asked to play on an AYSO Tournament team this year which will start in a couple of weeks and run through June plus she made it onto her high school Freshman/Sophmore soccer team. Not bad for a 9th grader.
The high school season is coming to a close, next week Thursday is the last game. Ryan and I have been at every game, rain or shine. Yes they do play in the rain, I think the only thing that will stop the game is lightning. The weather man calls for rain tomorrow so we might be huddled under the umbrella once more to watch and take pictures.
I am VERY proud of Lauren, though her team has not won a game but we finally tied at yesterdays game, Lauren has gotten better with each game. She plays goalie and has only been taken out of one game for about 10 minutes, other than that she has played full time in goal. She can't help but get better when she gets shot on 10-20 times or more per game.
Here are some pictures of her games. In this first picture (the goalie is in the blue shirt) she is diving to save a goal and she was successful (in the rain no less)
Walking up to meet us after the game. Ryan went running up to meet her!!
Practice before a game. The girls take lots of shots on goal for her to practice. This is one of MANY for practice.
This was at yesterdays game, she is the one wearing the yellow scrim shirt (it was too hot for the long sleeve blue goalie shirt). You can see the ball in the air and she is starting to jump to block it from a corner kick, with her knee up the way Alan taught her to protect herself from a player trying to get in her way. She had 3 or 4 corner kicks in a row here and saved everyone of them.
Here she is with one of the defenders, Rachel.
Hugs to all,
Kim
