Another year of Soccer for Olivia!

Olivia is now in her 3rd year of soccer, and she is one of the best on the team! She the smallest and shortest on the team but is one of the fastest runners and very aggressive on the team. Between myself and my husband we have both played almost every sport EXCEPT soccer, so we have had to do some research and look up rules and how to play. Of course Steve went out and bough Liv a full size soccer net, the best gear and ball to practice. It's still close to 100 degrees here so we have to make sure she is fully hydrated and doesn't get heat stroke. Although Maddie seems to be the one who doesn't do well in the heat. Steve will come straight from the office in a suit and sit to watch Liv practice for an hour while Maddie cries and complains of heat:{ Regardless the coach came up to us last week and asked us if Liv would be interested in playing in a year above her age, we said no due to the fact that she is already doing ballet 2 hours per week and on the competition team in addition to soccer....Mia Hamm watch out!
