Emily is playing futsal this winter. Futsal is indoor soccer for those of you saying huhhhh?

Anyways, the season has been rough thus far as all the kids are adjusting to the pace of futsal versus outdoor soccer (think fast-break basketball with your feet). Tonight was a different story. After trailing 1-0 to the team that beat them last week 8-1, Emily’s team went on second half scoring streakto capture the win.
The scoring actually started late in the first half, with Emily providing an awesome assist from the right wing spot.  She received the ball from the center striker dribbled up a few paces and the crossed the ball to the left striker who then one touched it in for a goal tying the contest up 1-1.

In the second half she had a number of kicks on goal. Her teammates got some rebounds and they went up 4-1. The final ended up being 5-3.

It was a great win and I anticipate the team improving tremendously from this week forward. I think they will surprise some teams the second time around.
