Fall Soccer 2007

This past Saturday, the GRPC Recreational Soccer League kicked off its Fall season. This year marks our 5th year of involvement with the league. As with past years, Alex, Abby, and Amanda are all participating.


We're seeing lots of development in the kids. Alex loves playing goalie and is getting really good at it. He's not afraid to pounce on the ball despite a rampaging mob of kids chasing it. Abby is starting to really pay attention when she's assigned a position; she really works to stick to it. And Amanda is coming out of her shell and is really starting to get into the mix.

This past Saturday was probably the hottest game day we've ever had with temps reaching into the mid-90's before the last game finished up. The funny part is that the Fall season goes from one extreme to the other; so we're expecting heavy snow before the season wraps.

All games take place at the church (click for map). They begin at 8:30 AM on Saturdays and the season runs through October 20th (no games September 3rd) . Come on out and cheer the kids on.
