Tonight went well despite a couple of notable players' absence. It was probably Super Girl's strongest game so far. She was in nets for a while and made her strongest kick so far when she had the ball and was kicking it our to her team after a goal. She also kicked the ball on the field a couple of times as well. When she's more confident I think she'll really get "into" this game.
I slipped away for a couple of minutes and watched Action Girl on her Under Eight team. She seemed to be in the middle of things and was playing as part of her team. The idiosyncrasies of soccer team assignment has mean that she is not on the strongest team in her division, but she was happy to report a tie tonight. You may have noticed that I didn't give a score for Action Girl's game. We don't actually keep score in the under six group. That said, it was a blow-out for the other team, which is very unusual for us as we're one of the stronger teams in our division.
A real problem has been the way in which some of our players have been ripping leaves off of and climbing a tree on the edge of the field. No more! I have spoken sharply to several players about this needless arbour abuse.
I wish I had some pictures!

LOL on the arbour abuse! Good to hear that you "branched" out, "barked" at them and got to the "root" of the problem
