Sheela and five of her friends played in a soccer tournament this weekend down in Southwest Dallas. It was a long way to go and we got off to a rough start. The schedule doesn't get made until all of the teams have checked in the morning. We left home at 7:30 AM and got the schedule at 9:00AM and our first game wasn't until 11:00AM. That's a long time to sit in the hundred degree heat after waking up early. Luckily we had not one but two shade canopies and Christi staked out a nice big tree for our "camp".
The format was new to us but I liked it and the girls seemed to too. It was 4 v 4 with no goalies and short, very quick halves. We lost two and won one. Sheela scored one of the goals (I think that this was her first goal for Super Blue). Kelzy and Sarah scored too.
There were only three all girl teams in the whole tournament and we were the only one in the U8 division. The whole tournament was run in Spanish, some of the referees didn't speak English. All in all it was a very good experience. Just for the record... Cambio means substitution. We are going to learn our soccer terms one at a time. But we are going to learn them.
