Natalya had her second practice tonight- they have mini-games. It's very, VERY loosely organized. They have fun, but try to introduce the rules. Natalya is such a rule-follower. She's one of the youngest on her team, but the most focused. She doesn't wander off the field in the middle of the game like some of the others.
She also has never touched the ball with her hands- unlike most of the other kids. Tonight they were playing and a kid picked up the ball to move it where he had a better angle at the goal and the ref (college soccer player) said hand ball. Then N went up to him and said "NO HANDS!" and flashed both her palms at him. lol!! He said, that's right! and high-fived her ;)
She is really enjoying it- I just wish the Saturdays didn't start so early! (we have to get up at 6ish)
Tonight she was really getting into it- following the ball more and getting her feet into the mix of kids. She fell a few times and got back up and right back in. . . and at one point she totally body-checked a girl and stole the ball! (Doug was so proud ;) ) She is really having fun with it!
