Newington Wrap Up

Over Father's Day Weekend, Emily's travel soccer team played their last games together.  There are not enough girls to continue through the changes next year, when the number of players on the field increases to 11.  Many of these girls have been together with Goran since they were 7 years old; and the girls and their families are all wonderful.  We have enjoyed watching them grow as players and as people, and we have enjoyed all the time spent together as family and friends.  It was incredibly emotional watching the season, and the journey, come to an end.  The girls went 4-0 in their final four games and went out on top, as Newington Wrap Up Champions.

Emily's pretty goal in game one. 

Emily was pretty sick during the tournament, especially on Sunday.  The final two games were played in mid-90's heat and it was touch and go whether she would even step on the field.  She played fewer minutes than usual and the assistant coach kept a close eye on her, including her water intake (and reported back to mom).

Emily and Coach Goran - the greatest coach there is.  Emily is making the switch back to Sporting next year (from CFC) to continue to play for Goran.  We could not be happier that she will continue to learn and grow from him.  There truly is no one else like him.

Sporting to CFC and now back to Sporting.  Can't wait to continue carpooling with these cuties. 

Family. 

Champions. 

Goran's final post game speech as a Magic coach.  By the end, we were all crying.

For the last time ever.
