Here she is the next Mia Hamm! (sp?) My life has been nothing but soccer this fall! Jake has practice Tue/Thurs for 1.5 hrs. with games on Sat. and Mackenzie has practice Wed. /Friday for 1 hour with games on Sat.!! I'm so coming to terms with the saying "soccer mom". I feel like we are doing "soccer" 24-7! At least we are getting plenty of outdoor time right?!
At first I have to say Mackenzie wasn't sure what to think of soccer. She kind of liked it but the idea of trying to get into the middle of a bunch of girls swarming around a ball and kick it away from them was very intimidating! The only way I can describe how she played at first was something like this:
There is a swarm of girls all huddled together around the soccer ball following it wherever it goes...no strategy... no organization...just screams and laughter! Then there is Mackenzie who is the "sun" orbiting around the swarm .... no direction....no intention of kicking the soccer ball...just running around the group of girls who are running with the ball..this is fun enough for her! :)
At the end of a game she would often leave crying saying " no one gave me the ball"! :(
Ahhhh competition....I'm not sure it is made for 5 year olds!
