This spring marked Lily's first season in a team sport. And she chose soccer! I was very excited about her choice, since I really enjoyed playing the game when I was younger.
Her team name was FC Bayern Munchen Angels. I had to Google this name since it sounded so different. The FC Bayern Munchen is a German sports club, best known for their professional soccer (football in Europe :). Lily was placed on a "test" team for an up-and-coming girls club division. She was fortunate to be placed on this team with a professionally-trained coach (Paul). Because this was her first experience in a team sport, I was praying she would have a good coach. He was extremely patient (crucial for 4-5 year old girls!), and had excellent communication with each girl. And I loved that he called Lily "Lils" from the sideline.
Here are some pictures of her first practice in March.
These pictures are of Lily's first game!
(The blue uniforms were temporary while their "professional" red uniforms were on order)

| This picture was to show that my camera is not equipped for action shots. She was doing so great, dribbling down the field, and the moment I snap the shot, BAM!, she falls down. My luck! |
So proud of our little soccer star and a great first season! Looking forward to many more to come!
