Guest Playing with the U13 White Team

While most people would think taking it easy is the order of the week follpowing 3 pretty intense soccer games at her tournament last weekend, Amity disagreed. There was an opportunity to guest play for the White team at their tournament this weekend, and Amity JUMPED at the oportunity for more soccer and to help out. She took the intitaive to arrange her own way there, people to stay with, etc (we are devoted, sure, but 2 tournament weekends in a row? I don't think so :). She played whatever position was asked of her, including goalie (which she is not) and helped the team to secure a victory in the final match - she kept a clean sheet in goal and made several impressive saves. All of this is second hand from both the soccer star herself and other parents (including the pics) but I will document it here nonetheless!

Virginia Super Cup

There was actually nothing super about the tournament. The fields, which are maybe sometimes nice, were totes water logged. Like the puddles on the field were a 12th player. The wind was INSANE. Amity's team did seem to be, as one supporter suggested, allergic to scoring. But they still eked out a win and probably should have had a few ties (that ended up as losses - soccer you are a cruel mistress). I think fun was had though, as evidenced by a lot of soccer played (always fun when you are Amity, even in terrible conditions) and some bowling alley shenanigans. Double bonus Amity and I got out of Dodge while the COVID was hot and seemed to have avoided that diasaster.. this time.
