Soccer in the Spring

To our own delight, Callie and Reese both still have a big interest in soccer.  That means once the season begins we spend a lot of time at practice or games, and driving to practice and games.  This particular picture, however, is included, however, because we think Reese looks a lot like John when he was little.

The spring season marked Reese's second with the Sharks, and the sixth season overall for this uniform in the Bowes family.  She is still one of the smaller kids on the field, but she is mighty.  It is fun watching her play.  There is no doubt that she has the competitive hunger.

The Sharks were quite a crew this season.  Overall there were not too many problems with girls who didn't want to play, but Reese was always ready to go back in the game when such issues arose.  We can't wait to see what the next season brings.
Somehow we did not manage to get a team picture of the Infernos in the spring, but we did get this great picture of Callie about to strike the ball.  She is developing into a very strong player, and her left foot in particular is a very effective weapon on the field.  Just as important she loved playing with the group of girls on the Infernos and they had a very good season.  But this also marked the end of Callie's time in the U10 league.  Because of her birth year she will now move up into the U12 division, which should be interesting.
