Soccer

Spring Select soccer has started. Megan is happy to be back on the field again. I am glad too, Steve and I love to watch her play.

This year is off with a bang. First off, they beat a team that they have never beaten. Second, Megan earned her first "yellow card" and the teams first. This means that she was warned that she did something really bad.

Let me explain, she was playing forward and getting really aggressive. She ran to the goal to score and the goalie put her hands on the ball. After the goalie has her hands on the ball you are not allowed to kick it. Megan says, that the goalie then dropped the ball and Megan kick it in. Well, the balled bounced off the goalies face then went in. This earned her a yellow card and they tied the game instead of winning.

The next practice, the coach talked about how bad calls do happen. Several people did see the goalie drop the ball including the coach from the other team. Megan then received MVP for the game and will be the team captain for the next game.

Let me say, Megan herself being a goalie, never intended to hurt this girl. She did apologize and make sure she was ok. However, she is the first to get a yellow card on her team and is enjoying the notoriety. My only regret, I was not there to get a picture.
