Hailey's 1st year in Soccer

Hailey is officially old enough for AYSO soccer. We were able to enroll her this summer and practices are under way! She is really excited and loved to pick out her little soccer cleats, socks, outfit and water bottle. She was placed on a team with her cousin Jodi which has been a great help for motivation. Her and Jodi get along well so Hailey is always excited for practice. She also LOVES her coach, coach Dan, who is amazing with these little girls. We couldn't have asked for better. He is positive and keeps them motivated the whole time. They received their uniforms the other day which are yellow and black. Despite the coach encouraging for a team name like bumble bees, Hailey is a part of the Golden Butterflies. We are really excited for her games to start and are happy she is enjoying it so far. The small groups are excellent for Hailey. She has really been able to work on skills and not be overwhelmed by too many other girls. There are only 5 on their team. Perfect! I can't believe she is so big already but am excited to watch her grow.
