YMCA Summer 2012 Soccer Practice #1: Team New England

This afternoon, we had our first practice for our summer season of soccer. Actually, it was the second practice of the season, but we had actually missed the first practice last week when we were in Pennsylvania.

We got to meet all the kids and their parents. Palmer is the only player returning with us from our team last spring.

New this year with the soccer season this summer is that it is indoors. It was weird playing in the gymnasium. The ball rolls faster and never stops!

Things were going well until one of the girls injured herself. She was all by herself kicking a ball and just fell down. Her mother and her grandfather thought it best to go to the ER to have it checked out. Poor thing. I felt so bad for her and her mother. Hopefully, it isn't too serious. I asked her mother to let me know about the injury once she finds out.

One downside to playing sports--there is always the risk of injuries. We just pray that she's okay.
