Andrea has enjoyed playing soccer this fall. She plays outside defense (right fullback). Her job is to keep the ball away from the goalie.
It has been fun watching her improve this year. Andrea does not mind falling too much and is willing to run into situations where others may hold back. She has been practicing running faster and is able to overtake opponents more often. She also likes to come up to mid line from an angle and kick the ball down field. Her kicking is getting stronger and she can send the ball flying much better than she did at the beginning of the season.
This weekend, Andrea had her fall soccer tournament. It was a long weekend for Andrea, but she enjoyed herself. Her team did a wonderful job! They were undefeated for all their games (8-1, 2-1, 2-0 and 2-1) and came home with first place trophies in their division!
Way to go!!
Congratulations!
