Spring Soccer Season Has Begun

The spring soccer season  has begun!  The CSC Gold 2001 Girls opened up the spring season in Birmingham, Alabama at the prestigious Vulcan Cup.  It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend!  The girls played well  and fun was had by all!  Here are just a few pictures from the weekend:

It's always a good thing to bring home some hardware!

Confessions of a Soccer Mom--It's all worth it!

All the time, all the effort, all the money....all the bruises, scrapes, sore muscles....all the lessons learned, the miles traveled, the McDonald's cheeseburgers...all the stains, sweat and blisters....

IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!  Here's the proof....

MEAD CUP 2011 U11 CHAMPIONS!

Winning Keeper...5 games, 4 allowed goals and 2 shut-outs!  Great effort!!

Hold 'em high girls!

Can't be prouder.  The 2001 Commonwealth Soccer Club Girls Gold team...your sweat this summer in 100 degree heat paid off.  Hard work ALWAYS pays off!

Eating, Breathing, Sleeping, and DREAMING Soccer

Abby eats, breathes and sleeps soccer.  Here's a little more about that

Eating, breathing and sleeping SOCCER

But last night, she took it a bit farther.   After a particularly intense soccer game, I went in to check on Abby before I went to bed as I always do.  She was covered up and all seemed great.  I bent down and kissed her forehead and she grunted at me.

"Abby is everything okay?" I asked her.  She replied with more grunts.

"Abby, are you alright?" I asked again.

"GET TO THE BACK POST" was her yelled reply.

I guess all that coaching is paying off :-).  She was definitely protecting that goal!!
