First Game

After many frustrating weeks of waiting...waiting to find out if she was on a team, waiting to hear when her practices were, waiting to see when the rest of her team would show up for practice, waiting for a game schedule, and waiting for a uniform.....

It was finally game day!  Her first game was against a team called the Monkeys.  It was so cute to see a bunch of little four year olds running around the tiny field.  While the other team seemed to have some sort of clue as to what they were doing, out team looked pretty clueless at kickoff. 

When the ball was thrown in by the coach for the very first time, out team stood where our coach had put them and watched as the other team took the ball right to the goal and scored.  We didn't move. 

Our girls watched this happen two times in a row and then caught on to what they were supposed to be doing.  After that, our girls had it down.  They knew exactly what they were supposed to do and scored goal after goal (in between an uncountable number of water breaks, potty breaks, shyness episodes, meltdowns, tears, and just wanting to not play anymore)!

Celebrating her goal with an "airplane" run!



High fiving the coach after her goal!



Some one on one coaching at half-time

In this age group, score is not kept, so I don't know who would have one.  I would venture to say that we did, but I can't be sure.

Playing her heart out



Not "Tebowing"- Just inspecting her knee after a pretty rough fall

Caleigh was fabulous!  Even from the sidelines!

Blowing kisses from the bench

All confidence!

Even cute while trying to chill

Caleigh had quite a few fans come to watch her play her first game.  She had her Granny, Nonnie, Mish, Meggie, Shelby, Jeff, Molly, Kota, and her biggest fans, Chad and I! 



Granny made all the girls on the team a water bottle with their name on it and I gave it to them after the game!  They thought it was cool. 



Shaking hands after the game

After the game, the coach posed the girls for a quick picture.



Here's to a great season with the Little Allstars!
