Presley Soccer Adventures!

First of all I would like to take a little trip back in time when I was a little girl and my mom signed me up to play soccer. I remember we were the Blue Barracuda's! I don't even think I knew what a Barracuda even was, but I went with it; it sounded cool. That was my first soccer team I ever joined, and it was certainly not my last. I played for many more years after that and I absolutely loved it. I remember thinking to myself as I got older, how fun its going to be when one day I have a kid and I get to sign them up for their first soccer team. I also thought about how fun it would be to be the "team mom".

Signing Presley up for the first time was one of those weird moments that some of us may have. I thought "wow, I'm signing Presley up for soccer!" that quickly was followed by "Wow, I have a KID to sign up for soccer!" then I thought "crap, I'm getting old." With many crazy thoughts going through my head I couldn't help but be so excited for this. I didn't force this on her, I actually gave her two other choices and she wanted to play soccer. Thank goodness because if I had to sit in an hour of ballet class I might have lost it. (jk, i think little ballerinas are cute.) Anyway, this is a toddler soccer thing. It's no AYSO but it teaches them at an early age the basic techniques on soccer rules. Also being able to show them how to take instruction from a coach and to participate in a team environment. She enjoys it very much and I just love watching her play in her little cleats and tiny shin guards! Oh one last thing..that whole "team mom" thing...not happening. I'll be more than happy to cheer on the sidelines :)


Seriously CUTEST EVER!!!

Team Huddle!
