The Green Machine

This was a week of many first for Avery. First time seeing her classroom, first time meeting her teacher, first time on the bus, first day of school and finally her first soccer practice and game. After meeting her coaches and team, Avery received her over sized green uniform to match her blue socks (the league told us to buy blue socks), took team photos and helped select her team name. "The Green Machine" was the team name drawn, even though Avery wanted to be called "The Green Cats"

Avery's coaches did a great job getting the girls warmed up and ready for their first game.



Games are played three on three, with no goalies, and every time a ball goes out of bounds it is a throw in. As you can see the pack of girls chase the ball all together as the parents cheer them on.


At the end of the hour both teams run through the victory tunnel and then the best part for the kids...


Snack Time!!!

Avery had a such a great time that she practiced all of her new skills when we got home. She is looking forward to next week because she gets to play against her friend Kaela's team.
