Back Outside

The spring soccer season is just about upon us and Emily's coach has worked hard to get the girls time outside on the big field before their first game.  The girls actually played a Sunday night game in late February (I'm completely inept at night time photography with the big camera, so the only photos are from my cell phone).  A game scheduled for early March was snowed out, but Emily and her friends didn't let that deter them - they put in a solid 45 minutes on the track instead and then did it again the following Saturday, after a soccer game.  Weekend track workouts will likely be the norm until the season is well underway and the girls are back in top form with their conditioning.  I'm always amazed by the work that 12 year old girls are willing to put in to position themselves to be the best possible player and teammate on the field.

Outside friendly match on a cold February night. 

A well played game and a nice win to start things off.

In inter-squad scrimmage to get used to being outside again.

A little bleacher running never hurt anyone.

Fast 50s.
