McKenna is excited to be playing soccer with her new team and can't believe that she's playing outdoor in February! The beginning of the year we knew we needed to find her a competitive team to play on so mom did some checking around and there just happened to be one team that was holding tryouts to fill two spots for the Spring season. So, having not had any touches on the ball since last November, she headed to tryouts to compete against three others for the two spots. Luckily, it all came back quickly and she made the team!
The team's name is the Thunder and crazy enough, they are the same colors as her old team; red and black. And they also have a yellow jersey which McKenna thought was really cool. She also thinks it's pretty funny that anytime it LOOKS like it might rain, they head indoors to practice! She calls them all sissys and has told them that in Spokane, they played outdoors come rain, snow or hail! Well, I suppose in a year or two she'll be just as big a sissy!
Last weekend, which was President's Day weekend, they played in a local tournament here in St. George. The weather was absolutely perfect for soccer: mid-60's and sunny! They played well together and against some tough teams and ended up taking second in their division. McKenna loves her new teammates and is very excited for the upcoming Spring season which starts March 6. Go Thunder!
As you can see, she is still going up against much larger girls.
Mac, you really need to put some meat on those bones!
She scores!!!
