Squirrel's Soccer Season Sewed-Up

The Squirrel played soccer for another season this spring. She loved it! ~~~
She is developing into quite an aggressive and accomplished soccer player.
Check out some of her skills...
~~~
Demonstrating some ball-handling...
~~~
A kick with excellent leg extension!
~~~
Abz played a lot at the goalie position this year. She has quick reflexes and is not scared of the ball, so she does well as the "keeper". Here she is making a save in front of the goal...
~~~
The goalie can pick up the ball and kick it down-field. Check out these chronological pics of Abz getting the ball away from her goal...
~~~
The "wind-up"...
~~~
The "toss"...
~~~
The "drop"...
~~~
The "kick"!
~~~
Abz had her last game of the season today, and they managed to get the game finished before the rain started. Her team, TEAM D, ended the season with an undefeated record!!! Grandma Pat and Grandpa Denny made the trip to Barron to watch the Squirrel guard the goal--thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!!!

And it was fun to watch. If we can attend enough soccer games over the years maybe I will understand it!!!

Way to go Abz.
