GOOOOOAAAL!

Kati has only one thing on her mind when she plays soccer.... SCORE.

Last night she was a little powerhouse, Audra stopped counting her scores at 8 - we figure she got at least 10. At this age Olivia was a good little goal scorer too, I recall one game where she had 6 but Olivia never scored in the manner that Kati scores. Olivia would (and still does) take a ball off the edge, kick it to free space dribble it down and blast a good shot, Kati flat just blows it up.

From the sound of the whistle she attacks, driving through the little scrum of 6 five-year-olds and usually (last night every) coming out with the ball and once she has a view she is GONE. Kati keeps the ball close and has very good sense of where she is on the field - this is a tough thing at this age. Last night she had one play where she blew up the scrum near mid field, took the ball to the corner, stopped, brought it in to the goal (going through 2 or 3 five-year-olds twice her size in the process) and banged it home.


I was ref-ing the game last night and could hear an audible sigh from the opposing side each time Kati would get the ball. I think I even heard it on substitutions when Kati would come in to the game. Needless to say we are very proud of our little powerhouse.
