Soccer Girl

MRD has been playing indoor soccer this past couple of months, and she's having a blast.

Tonight she scored 3 goals in the game, which is a career record for her!

I like watching indoor soccer; the artificial turf makes it faster than outdoor grass, and the walls provide a barrier so the ball (almost) never goes out of bounds.

It's amazing how tough the girls are--they fight for the ball and slam up against the boards in a way that is reminiscent of hockey! But they're still girls--tonight one of MRD's teammates knocked an opponent over, then turned and apologized before going after the ball.

Here's MRD, kicking one of her goals tonight:

Go MRD go!
