Soccer!

Yesterday I went to my first soccer practice. I was ready to go with my new pink and black soccer shoes, shin guards and soccer ball!! I am the only girl on the team. So far I don’t mind though. I can keep up with those boys! First we did warm ups by kicking the ball down the field. Then we did some drills with the coaches. We played a game called Shark (which we really didn’t understand, but it was still fun). Then we practiced kicking the ball into the goal. I need to work on kicking the ball a little straighter. My Daddy said he would work with me. Then we ran some more. At the end of practice we got to choose a team name. We each were asked what we wanted. I chose Lightening McQueen (from Disney’s “Cars”) along with another boy. Then the other kids wanted Lightening McQueen too!! It was decided that our team name is “The Lightening”! I like it. I can’t wait until the next practice.
