Alice had another game today. The other team was definitely better organized than the previous team. They had a couple of kids who seemed to actually know something about soccer. My hope that Alice, drawing on the experience of her two brothers, would dominate in the early years, has been crushed.
Alice only sort of understands the basics and does not have much of an attention span. During the earlier part of the game she spent most of the time sort of wandering around, or hanging out with the keeper, or just jumping. She picked up in the second half, chasing after the ball more often and having a couple of good runs, although she had a tendency to miss the ball on a kick and keep on moving. She had a couple of good clears near the goal as well.
