Goalie

Ellie has moved up an age group in soccer. Which means that she is playing with older kids, on a bigger field, with goalies, and more rules. And they keep score.

Last Saturday was her first game. During practice she apparently showed some skill at goalie so her coach asked her to play the position for a quarter of the game. She did well stopping some goal kicks. She did allow one goal.

But she also assisted in her team scoring two goals. Basically she got the ball near the goal and passed to a kid who kicked it in.

Her team is the Pink Pandas. She did not suggest the name. Her subversion for their team, which has BRIGHT pink jerseys was something related to bubblegum. Like the Bubblegum Blasters or something like that.
