The end of a soccer era...

Well, this Sunday was the end of Phil’s soccer season and the end of his coaching career with this group of girls. Phil has coached this same group of girls for the past 4 years and next year they will move on to high school soccer. So this was his last weekend of games with these girls…forever.They had a double header on Sunday.

The first game was blazing hot and I ended up with some major sunburn (even with spf 45 on!). They won that game 4-1.

Then we had a few hours break while some storms rolled through. We had to wait out lightening for a few hours and then they finally got to play their final game. They ended up tying this game which was a bummer to end the season on.

The girls got Phil a really nice frame with a team picture that they all signed. Then of course they also got him a nice big jug of cold water all over his head… or at least they tried.

Here is a team photo...while we were waiting out the storm.

Here are the rest of the girls ganging up on him... although at this point he's picked up Birdie and is using her as a shield.


Afterwards.
