Rachel played one season of soccer, when she was about 7. Since then she only played occasionally with friends and family. But she signed up for rec soccer here, with her cousin Mara. And Rachel is loving it!
How cool is that to be on the same team as her cousin? (above)
Rachel is #5
She loves being goalie, too
Making a save as goalie
Cousins -- and how cool is that to have your aunt sponsor the team? I was with Becky when she was signing up to sponsor the team, and when she had to write down the name she wanted on the shirt, she wasn't sure what to write -- her little boy piped up, "Danny's Fried Chicken!" We went through lots of possibilities -- Air Force? Becky's Barbeque? And I thought it would be so cool to have "LDS.ORG" on the shirts. But they ended up with "Riley & Co." When people ask Mara what that means, she isn't quite sure what to say... but it's sure fun for Rachel to be on the Riley team!
Rachel really hustles out there. The whole team tries hard, but they haven't won a game yet. They tied one game, 1-1, and guess who scored the team's only goal for the whole season? RACHEL!!! All that practicing with Isaac has paid off.
