Vanessa goes "Select"

After 3 years of recreational soccer, Vanessa has made us proud again. She tried out for a “select” team and made it! The team she has been playing with for the last 2 years all made a new “select” team and will be playing at the U11 level in the fall. This is a competitive team (as opposed to just recreational) and the competition will be tougher. Vanessa’s growth as a soccer player has been amazing to watch and we are so very proud of her. This whole soccer thing has come 100% from her and she continues to want to play, so we will continue to support her. (Why else would we withstand crazy weather hot and cold?)

The picture is from last weekend at a tournament she played. It was 90+ degrees and the girls played 4 games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday (although Vanessa sat Sunday out due to a cold and fever). Her team took 1st in their age bracket and she got a really cool medal!
