Kassady the Athlete

I will probably never have to worry about Kassady being a star athlete. This was her first year of soccer and she loved it. Well, at least she loved running around the field, all the while looking at the sidelines to see if we were watching. As aggressive as she is at home with her brother, I figured she wouldn't have any trouble at all mixing it up in the game. But, no, she would rather hang around the fringes or at the other end of the field. It is so much fun to watch her, though.

Kassady has scored a total of 3 goals this season, 1 in the opponents goal. My favorite goal that didn't count, though, came on an out-of-bounds play. She ran over to the ball, picked it up, carried it over and set it in front of the goal, and then kicked it in. After this she threw her arms up in the air like she had made a big score! I was on the road, so Lori called to tell me about it. I couldn't stop laughing at the visual.

Kassady on the attack!

Kicking off and throwing the ball inbounds are Kassady's favorite part of soccer. She can care less about the rest of it. She just jogs and grins, with nary a care in the world.

As you can see, we face an uphill battle when it comes to teaching Kass how to score.

We did have to call security on some rowdy fans in the section. The young man spent most of the game yelling smart-aleck remarks at his sister.
