The Lady Bearcats First Soccer Game!

Emma-Caroline had her first ever soccer game on Saturday morning. Her team is named the Lady Bearcats and she has a wonderful coach named Mr. Todd. We are also pleased with the organization Emma-Caroline is playing soccer through called Upward. It is a Christian based organization which encourages the children while teaching them skills in the designated sport they are playing. All children get to play, and while goals are made, score is not really kept. At this age and skill level, it's nice for Emma-Caroline to just be able to play without feeling that competitive "pressure." The first game was great! The teams all ran though a large UT orange archway before the games began. All team members played and got to play offense, defense, and goalie. Emma-Caroline really got into the game. I was very proud of my girl out there! Enjoy the picture diary of Emma-Caroline's first game!
