Ansley was fortunate to join up with a team that has (for the most part) played together for a couple of years. The coach is amazing and does such a great job working with the girls and really teaching them skills. They won their little championship tonight but it was stressful! The game was still tied (0-0) at the end so it went into over time - they played two 5 min quarters and it was STILL tied, so...it went into a shoot out (penalty kicks- not cool!!!). Ansley was one of the 5 girls to do a kick (the goalie stopped it). At the end of each team having their 5 kicks, it was tied at 1-1 so it went to sudden death with the kicks and we won!! Ansley plays goalie at least once at some point in the game, but thankfully she didn't have to be goalie for this! The girls also had their playoff game for the older division (U10) today. At the end of overtime it was 1-1 so we went to penalty kicks then also, but we lost that one :-(. We actually played that game (against the older girls) before the younger championship one, so the girls really did well - they were not playing with fresh legs by the time their age level game started.
Glad to have a rest from soccer now (only Cole is playing basketball at this time). Ansley said she was sad soccer was over, so I am thankful she wasn't sick of it. We have had fun watching her play, but it's time for a little break!!
One of the pics is of Ansley getting ready to do her penalty kick. Just a wee bit stressful for mom! :-)
