Soccer

008

Ella is not much into soccer this season.

We decided that she would not play next season, until she is interested again.

She really dreads the games…she tells me she can’t win every game. 

I’m wondering if she means that she and one other girl (there are 6 on a team) are really the only 2 that are aggressive.

I’m hoping she wants to play again, she is too good to not ever play again.

We have had fun this season…only 2 more games.
