Soccer, Fall 2001 – Shelby County Youth Soccer Recreational League. (SCYS)
Kirsten’s first year of soccer, it could have been worse I guess. The coach had obviously played before and had a son named Lex on the team. It was a little team, all 4/5 year old boys and girls playing 8v8. The coach’s son liked to wear his “Superman” cape during the games, so the entertainment value was high.
What I can say about Kirsten, she did not sit down and pick flowers, she did pay attention to what was going on and very early she decided she was not going to play magnet ball with everyone else – she began to hover around the pack and wait for the ball to squirt out. She scored two goals that year and unfortunately, I missed her very first goal. I was at the concession stand with my dad buying drinks. I did not see the ball go in, but
when I heard all of the yelling, I saw Kirsten standing at the net with the ball in it – Lex was in the back ground trying to save Metropolis –arms stretched out wide “flying” faster than he ever ran after a soccer ball unless it was out of bounds or in the net – he had to be the one to get the ball.
All in all, the coach did a good job with Kirsten; she enjoyed the season and was looking forward to the next fall season.
