Did I really not include this one already? There was one coach (not this team's) who was convinced that Holly was elbowing everyone. He made it his mission to get the ref to stop her (it didn't work). While we don't think she uses her elbows illegally, and certainly no more than anyone else, we appreciated that his team felt threatened enough by her to complain.
Maybe she can start grabbing clothing inconspicuously instead . . . (and in the interest of full disclosure, it just LOOKS like she's touching his shirt)
If I haven't been quite so bold this season, here it is. We discovered in the spring that Trevor had been terribly underutilized and untrained in his then-soccer team. He'd played with the team for six seasons. It was usually a winning team, and the efforts all focused on offense and not defense. At the end of last season, Robert worked with Trevor just twice--and his skills exploded. The praise finally heaped on him by his then-coach and teammates was well deserved.
By moving into the new age group, he brought a new energy to our 13+ team's defense. He saw more action each game than he saw in entire seasons before. He was reliable and aggressive, and therefore played almost every minute of every game. As he has nine more seasons of play, he's clearly a force to be reckoned with.
Holly's little team's silly photo.
And I can breathe a sigh of relief that my soccer pictures have all been posted!
