Soccer


We got Ava in a neighborhood soccer league and today was the first day. Ava got a new green soccer ball and pink shin guards. We took a few pictures this morning while we were waiting for the team to arrive.


Tess played at the park while Luke took pictures of Ava. Instead of helping her climb on the equipment he took pictures as she fell. (She was fine though.) See the following sequence below:





Just one random sepia colored picture for variety I guess.


Ava's team, "the Tigers" passed out their jersey's before practice today. Ava is number 5.



Practicing before the game.

Team cheer: Go Orange!
Luke is an assistant coach, helping with practice before the game and substitutions during the game.

Ava played really well and was assertive in trying to get the ball.

Here she used her body to box out the blue team! Way to go!



Ava almost scored a goal. The ball hit the cone and bounced out. She was sad about that but we cheered her on anyway. In the end her team lost 1 - 0. This picture is her walking back to me after the game.



I took most of the action pictures which is why they're a bit out of focus. Ava has 5 more weeks of soccer to go, so we'll be posting more pictures again soon!
