Unicorns Kick Grass

Karsyn kicked off her soccer career with a stellar performance against the Sunnyvale Orange Blossoms on Saturday at Ortega Park. Sporting her brand new Unicorns jersey, Karsyn scored her first career goal with a shot from three feet out after dribbling the ball up the field. The AYSO girls 6 & under league plays 3-on-3, without a goalie, but Karsyn had to get past three defenders before poking her tally home.



Since the league doesn't keep score, there was no official winner or loser. Well, that's not exactly true. Bug's mom and I were the big winners. Seeing her play in an organized sport and having fun was one of the biggest thrills of my life. That's my little girl out there!



The team consists of about 10 girls, so the coach splits them up into groups of 5 and each group plays the opposing team. With two substitutes, there's plenty of PT for all of the mighty Unicorns. Check that, the "White Unicorns", as I have been corrected on more than one occasion.



The two teams concluded their match with a friendly set of high-5's and a cheer for each other. All in all, a great day of soccer. By the way...Karsyn wears #7, which happens to be one number higher than her dad's favorite #6. She tellsme that she's, "one better than dad."
