Soccer or Herd Ball?

We signed up Harper to play Soccer at the YMCA.  It's super close to our house so we thought that it would be an easy way for her to be involved with her first organized sport.  The team has two volunteer / parent coaches who both happen to be College Soccer coaches in the area.  (DBU & TWU).  They practice every Thursday evening and then are supposed to play games on Saturdays.  So far we have had 3 practices but no official games.  They keep getting canceled due to rain.  So last weekend her coach went ahead and organized a scrimmage between members of her team.  We called it a game and the kids didn't know any difference.  It was a great way for the coaches to be out on the field coaching the kids as to the rules of the game. I think Harper is enjoying it so far.

Harper is one of 2 girls on the team. She doesn't seem to mind hanging with all of the boys.



They just seem to move around in a little herd wherever the ball is.
