soccer CHAMPIONS!!

Abbey returned from the indoor soccer awards ceremony with 2 big trophies.  She knew she would receive one.  Her team was undefeated.  Season champions!  Her team was called up to the front and cheered on by the rest of the teams as they were handed the shiny awards.

The second trophy Abbey is holding up was a sweet surprise.  She received the sportsmanship award from her coaches.  She was beaming!

Coach Amanda told me that Abbey never gave up and always tried and that's why she was such a great sport!  She repeated the story that a friend watching their soccer game said to her that she loved how the little girl (Abbey) would take direction...as the coaches would yell to her where to be or what to do on the court, she would make eye contact and say, "OKAY!"  

We are so proud of her!  I have discovered that once in a while you get to be a part of the winning team...you get lucky, and you enjoy every minute of it!  Abbey loved being able to tell all her friends her team was undefeated!  She loved the girls on her team that worked together and made undefeated possible!
