Shortly after moving into the new house, we were invited to join a soccer team with a new friend we'd met in the neighborhood. Her dad called me that morning and by that afternoon we were registered and at the first practice of the season. We jumped in quickly and didn't fully realize what we'd signed on for. Brenna has played recreational soccer since she was 5 years old, but this was our first experience in a competitive league. It is much more intense and time consuming and the coaches are much more aggressive. We practice for an hour and half, two days weeks with games every Saturday and Sunday scattered all over Houston. We play in-club games on Saturdays at our home fields and we play other soccer clubs throughout Houston in PDF Houston games on Sunday. We eat, sleep, and breath soccer! And the old saying holds true, Practice Makes Perfect. She has improved tremendously through the fall season. Despite the enormous time commitment, she still wants to continue in the spring so it look like we will continue to be busy with more soccer! Here's a few shots from the season.
