Soccer Time

Kylie is playing club soccer and she tried out and made her junior high soccer team.  This was quite an accomplishment as she was competing for a spot with both seventh and eighth graders.  She is certainly getting lots of soccer playing time this spring!  Steve and I watched a school soccer game in Austin and the following week Kylie was in College Station for a club soccer tournament.  The competition is getting much tougher and the girls are getting bigger.  Kylie really holds her own against any competition.

This game was decided by penalty kicks (best of 5) and this last pic is of Kylie’s kick - which she made.  Unfortunately, her team lost on penalty kicks.

Kylie’s team won the first game and Kylie scored.

Kylie was matched against a much bigger girl in this game.

The Rangers lost the second game against a really good, much larger and rough-playing team.  Kylie’s games are fun to watch as she is at a very competitive level.  Steve and I are still learning about soccer but are getting better at yelling encouragement at appropriate times.
