With her sister setting the tone for sports over the past couple years, Amalia was chomping at the bits to get started as well. She was coming to practices and staying to play afterwards. She was watching games or sitting on the bench. She was listening and asking questions. Now in 4th grade, though, she is finally able to participate on her own terms!
Season 1 for this little girl began with soccer. She wasn't quite sure about soccer but she knew she wanted to be on the Mini-Falons team, so she went for it. It helped that several of her friends were doing it also. To make things even better she was put on the same team as one of her best frineds on all the world, Eva!
She instantly loved the sport and her coaches were very supportive, allowing her to blossom into a good little player. The pictures and video here are of her first week of practices, before games had formally begun, but it coincided with daddy's first time watching this little girl in soccer action!
By the end of the season our little one was happily and boldly stating, "I love soccer" and even participating in games with older students (including the 6th grade team that needed extra players for a game or two). We hope that this is but the beginning of our girl's athletic future! We love you Amalia!!
