After her rec season of soccer ended this year, Emily mentioned wanting to try club soccer instead. We had gone down this route last summer and it didn't end well, so I was a bit hesitant, but I also knew that if Em wanted to progress at all in soccer, she'd have to switch to club. So I reached out to a team that practiced not too far from our house and the coach told me to bring Em out to practice. After just her 2nd practice, the coach told us that her '09 team was full, but she was hopeful that she might have enough girls for a second '09 team, so keep coming out. So that's what we did for the next month and a half. Luckily, in the end the coach was able to have enough girls to form 2 teams. Em was super excited to make the team. She will be playing on a Renegades team. I'm not really sure what we're getting ourselves into, but we're now jumping in to select soccer with 2 feet.
Each year, select soccer contracts start on July 1. We had to sign paperwork and make payments this day, but we didn't actually have the team signing party until the following weekend. It was a good chance for Emily to meet all the other girls and for us to meet their parents.
