Mikenna played about 10 months of soccer this year - we counted how many games she played - over 50 games. That is including tournament games. She proved that she can play in RCL - which is the highest level of play for her age in Washington state; and not only that - but she is one of the best defenders in that age group. She has a bright future in soccer if she chooses to continue with it. She is also the youngest on her team - she is almost playing up. Her coach gave her great compliments as he handed her trophy to her. He said that she was the most consistent defensive stopper on the team. She didn't miss one game all year - that included when she sprained her ankle, and also took on Basketball and Soccer at the same time and had 4 practices a week and sometimes 2 games - on Saturdays for both sports. She loves soccer and loves her team mates and coaches. She cried at the end of the party because she is going to miss her team mates and playing on her team. She is getting ready to try-out for GU12 in 2 weeks. Toby put together a slideshow of all of the pictures I took of Mikenna and her team this past year and showed it to everyone - all the parents were in tears at the end of it. It's amazing how much each of the girls have progressed and have formed such a bond with one another. They had a very successful 10 months together. Placing in tournaments, as well as making it to the quarterfinals in State Cup! And placing well in the Fall and Spring in their division of play.
Our team manager ordered this awesome cake and used one of the team pictures that I took this year.

One happy girl!
The girls each received a poster print of a collage of pictures that I took throughout the year as well of action shots and individual and team pic's.

We are so proud of you Mikenna!!!
