Spring Soccer 2015

Spring soccer has finally wrapped up and I'm not sure how we survived!!!  I coached Hailey's U-10 team this season and Kailee played up a level in U-8.  Thankfully I was able to get their practices on the same days (Mon/Wed) but Kai was 5:30 and Hailey was 6:30.  The girls got off the bus, had a snack, changed and we were out the door and not getting back home until 7:50 and still need to make and eat dinner and take baths!  We started practice the week after spring break and Hailey got only ONE practice in before we had two games (Friday and Saturday...Saturday was in the SNOW!)  That's when the craziness started and it didn't stop until the 2nd weekend in May!  We were looking at 3-5 days a week of soccer!  The girls had fun though and I really enjoyed coaching Hailey!

 

I was a little worried about pushing Kai up a level, but I knew she'd learn so much more by being challenged by older players.  She fit right in and is an incredible hustler!!!

Unfortunately I was only able to make it to TWO of her 12 games this season (yes, 12 games in 4 weeks, ugh!!!!!!!!!!) but I always got a full report and was able to sneak in a few pictures at the games I went to!  

They were sponsored by Rocky Top Kennel and coached by Scott Gurley

 Goooooo Rocky Tops!!!!

This is her 4th season playing soccer and truly loves it (yay!!!)

Since I was coaching Hailey's team, I didn't get ANY pictures of her in action, but she was definitely my go-to player in terms of hustle and perseverance!!!!  I could count on her to track back on defense and never give up!  She fought her stomach issues all season and I couldn't be more proud of her resilience!!

 This is our 4th season together!
