Strikers!!

Club Soccer season officially opened this past weekend. Rachel (#16) is playing with the Strikers FC this spring and the season opened with a big tournament in Mesquite, NV on President's Day weekend. We are a young and a new team, being formed just this year with girls ages 13-15. Out of 9 teams, we placed 8th. I know, doesn't sound too impressive, but we are coming along. The girls are learning each others playing styles and strengths. Rachel usually plays mid-field or forward. Games started at 5pm and ended at 10:30pm Nevada time - which is an hour later for Utah. Rachel was playing past her bedtime!!! It was even later on Saturday night!

Beginning the game with prayer - which I think is cool!

Rachel does funny things with her fingers when she's got the ball!

Throw-in with the sun setting in the background.

Concentration.
It was a fun 2 nights - even though it was brrrrr...cold!
