Billings REAL Soccer

We signed Kate up to play on a more competitive soccer league this spring.  Practices were Monday and Thursday with Small Side Games on Tuesdays.  All of those were at Amend park across town. It was A LOT of driving.  There were also tournaments out of town.  We went to a tournament in Sheridan, Wy, one in Helena, and one was here in Billings.  The one in Helena Sharon came with us.  We stayed over night for that one.  It is fun to see the girls playing more competitively, but it is a big time and money commitment especially when you have more than a couple kids.  The way Kate's team was configured there were 36 girls and they mixed them around frequently so the team didn't get feeling that cohesive.

 The weekend that we took Kate to Helena, Sari went with the Olsen's to Butte to Annabelle's track meet.  She had a lot of fun with them and it made it so we had extra room for Sharon to come with us.

Kate's coach, Martin Smith.  We got together for pizza after the Tournament games in Helena.
