Alyssa's First Soccer Season

Alyssa had her first soccer game on Saturday. She is in an all girls league and there are 5 or 6 other girls on her team. She is one of the youngest and smallest on her team. They play on a small field with three girls on each team at a time and no goalie. Here she is all dressed and ready to go to her game.
Here she is warming up before the game.

We get the worst parents of the year award for not putting a warmer shirt on under her uniform. We had no idea it was going to be so cold out there. Here she is shivering before the game.

Fortunately, we at least had a sweatshirt that we put on under her jersey shortly after this picture was taken. She was a little bit warmer then, but we were all glad to see the end of the game come so we could warm up. Hopefully none of the other games end up with weather like that.

Here is a short video of Alyssa in action.

As you can see, she is still figuring out how to play. She sometimes forgets what she is supposed to be doing but after yelling her name, she'll snap back into it. We have also noticed that she is not very aggressive in going after the ball, but that may just be because she is one of the younger girls. So far she is enjoying it.
