Adelie just finished up her first season of playing soccer. Although she was disappointed that she didn't score a goal, she really enjoyed herself and was always excited about playing. And she's quick to point out that she almost scored a goal.
Adelie improved with her skills as the season progressed. She was not the fastest or most aggressive kid on the field, but she played hard and had a good time.
Her league did not have enough parents volunteer to coach, so I offered to help. I have never played soccer and don't really know the right technique or the rules. Luckily, the kids on our team were 4 and 5. I reminded them not to use their hands and tried to help them remember which goal we were going to, so I feel like I did my job.
Adelie was very sad when her season was over. She enjoyed playing, made some new friends, and it was a good outlet for some of her energy. We are already looking forward to next season!!
