Soccer stars

Our soccer season was pretty crazy this year. Maylee was finally old enough to play and for some crazy reason I thought it would be fun for me to coach her team. We had 8 kids on our team, Maylee was one of only two girls. All but three kids were from our neighborhood and best of all Jackson (Maylee's cousin and best friend) got to be on our team. We called ourselves the superkickers and we won almost all of our games.
Morgan was the assistant coach. She was able to help at the practices and was at every game that wasn't at the same time as her own games.
Morgan played for the sixth year. She did so great this year. Most of the time she played defense which she is very good at, her favorite position is the stopper. She did get a few opportunities to play as forward and she scored during one of those few times. She got to have Natalie Jeffs as a coach again and a lot of her friends played on her team. Natalie taught them so much, took them to a college game and then had a fun end of the season party at the Pizza factory. I loved watching Morgan play this year-she was confident and aggressive. Last year she was in pain during most of her games so she didn't run as fast or play as hard. I hope she continues to play because she just keeps getting better.
Morgan's team was the mighty mustaches.
Gotta love our soccer stars. We love to watch our girls play but it's always nice when the season comes to an end so we can have a little more free time!
