Anna started her 2nd grade soccer season on Saturday.....Gary and David Kohn are the coaches of the team. This year we have a combined 1st/2nd grade team. Those in 2nd grade that played last year are doing well and continue to improve. Some of the 1st graders have never played before so it will take some time for them to get in the rhythm of the game. We did not score and the other team scored 5. Technically we don't track W's and L's, but the kids do. Gary was pleasantly surprised by the team and knows what they need to work on. On the bright side, Anna played great, especially at defender and goalie, not allowing any balls past her at either position.

playing goalie which is her favorite!!Caroline started her rookie soccer season yesterday. Gary is paired up with another dad to coach the fieresome 4 year olds at Hope Pres. The kids played with all their heart and scored many goals (no goalies yet!) and all seemed tired by the end of the game. It was a hot day and that seemed to take its toll. Caroline ran fast, paid attention, and kicked the ball well. I think she will only improve as the season progresses and of course the temperatures fall.
