Lightning Bolts Soccer

 Leila is on her very first soccer team this fall! She is part of a co-ed, seven kid team called the Lightning Bolts. Her coach, Sarah, is amazing with the kids! She is patient, fun and caring...everything you want your child's first coach to be!! Chris teaches with Sarah and her and I went to high school together. Leila adores her! The Lightning Bolts (or Ladybugs as coach teases them) had their Jamboree the second weekend of September. They played two games and got the opening season jitters out of the way. Leila wears number 3...a happy accident! Chris wore 3 when he played soccer and she is so excited to match her Dad!!



 On the sidelines...

The end of game #1. Go Lightning Bolts!


Of course...every soccer playing kid needs this photo!


Getting pumped for the second game:

Prior to kick off - "Which way are we going?"

The girls (Kaylie, Colby and Leila) got some field time together.





Pep talk from Coach Josh, Sarah's hubby.





I think the end of game is truly the kids' favorite part of the game!! The parents and families make a tunnel for the kiddos to run through. They usually end up going through it three or four times. I think if we stood there cheering all day, they would continue to run through it!!
