Last week was a rain out. So the first game ended up on Saturday, October 4. Abby's game was at 9 am. They split her team in half and they played each other. Here are a few things about Mini-Striker Soccer:
-No goalies
-No scores
-3 vs. 3, except when teammates finally decide they want to play, then it's 5 vs. 6 by the end of the game
-It's OK to cry
-Don't want to play in the game?, that's fine (even if your parents freak out...don't worry, Abby played twice, but some parents weren't so lucky)
-It's OK to score a goal in the other team's net
-Cheer for everyone
-It's OK to hang out in the goal with a boy, while the rest of the game is going on at the other end of the field (Yes, I am talking about Abby this time).
All in all, she did a great job and had fun!! Thank goodness the games are only about 30 minutes.
Samantha's game wasn't until 11:15. Samantha's team played another green team, so they had to wear the fashionable yellow Pennies. They lost 4-0, but they really tried hard. Samantha even played some offense for the first time in I don't know how many years. Great Effort, Samantha!!
