Taylor's Soccer Journey Continues...We Hope!

Taylor begins playing on Monday with the Strikers FC! This is a team comprised mostly of the Pine View High JV team. We are excited for her to have this chance to get to know the girls and coaches she will hopefully be playing with in high school. She is excited too! More than she should have been, probably...but that's a long story.

This is a competitive league and they will likely play in the Summer Games in 2010, as well as some regional qualifying tournaments. It will be a bit pricey, but the team is looking at doing some fundraisers, so that will help. I think of it as a good investment. :-)

There is only one catch--I probably should have mentioned that earlier--and that is: She is only 13 years old and she may be playing against 18 year olds which the league has to approve with a signed waiver from us. So all of this pending that approval. The good news is that the coach already told us that even if she can't "officially" play with the team, she can still come to practices and work out with them. So it's all good, but better if she can actually play!

I'm excited for her! And for us too! What would we do without soccer to keep us busy? Or maybe I should say distracted? Anyway...we love it!

  2. Hi everyone, Good job Taylor and I hope and pray that everything will work great for you , you are a very talent girl.
    I don't know half of the things Shaylie wants for Christmas, oh well, that is ok I'm so close to being done.
    Enjoyed Scott's visit and the time we spent on Sunday together was fun.
    We got back from Wendover about noon today, B.B.King put on a good show and we got to see Lucille, he can still play and sing his songs, he is 84 years old. We had breakfast this morning and started for home, it was snowing when we left Wendover, some places you had to take it easy because of the roads but some of these drivers would go right pass us. It was really snowing when we got to Salt Lakewe probably got about three inches but the roads are still warm so didn't stick but tonite could be some black ice suppose to get cold.
    I'm going across the street to the Knights of Columbus Night Out tonite. Will have dinner and then they set up tables you can play black jack and stuff, then they have a dance but we will come home early. One of Helen's brother in law always buys me and her a ticket to go,because I get her mail and etc. Best get busy take care and Love you guys Grandma J. XXfor mygirls
