Soccer Stars

Tillie and her friend Dash played soccer for the Hawks this spring.  It took a few games for them to warm up, but by the end of the season they were showing great hustle and even performing assists!




Coach Mike strategizing:


Tillie, #20, in action:





Warming the bench:
The post-game snack was Tillie's favorite part.
And, in case you are curious, I use the term "soccer" loosely.  They mainly ran around the field as a pack, mobbing the ball.  Occasionally, the ball would squirt out of the mass of kids and a star player would dribble it down toward a goal (not always the correct goal).  Here's some footage to show you what I mean:


Our team lost every single game, but they were all winners for demonstrating such great teamwork.  Tillie even got a medal to prove it!

So CUTE - i love her expression during the team talk photo - looks like she's contesting the coach's game plan! We used to call this level of play 'Magnet Ball' at home!
