Emma's first games of the fall soccer season

Most of you already know that Melissa is coaching Em's soccer team again this year. This is her first time in the New Smyrna Beach league and they have a pretty good team. The first game was yesterday morning and (even though we aren't supposed to be keeping score) Em's team won 2-0. Melissa has some stuff for me to do so I'll post the pics of Paige and Sophia at dance/gymnastics later.

Em on the attack


We need to practice having her shoot from farther out!


Some other kid trying to send Em back to the other end of the field. She politely ignored him.


The defense can't touch her! Until she dribbles it directly into the goalies hands, as she did on this occasion as well.


Yeah, the kids were a little bored when they were playing defense.


Warming up

Ems' going to start off in goal, so she has her jersey on to let everyone know she can use her hands. I didn't include any shots of her playing goal becuase there wasn't much action down there.


Throw in


This was funny... The other team was supposed to kick off when the whistle blew. They kind of just stood there so eventually Em just ran up and kicked it!
