Murray Max Soccer

A huge part of our lives (since June), has been Murray Max soccer. Emily & Lindsey had both played rec soccer for several years and after having some friends & coaches encourage them to try out for competitive soccer, we decided to let them try. Both made their teams (Emily made the U11 developmental team & Lindsey made the U9 team). We spend hours each week at practices, training & games, but it has been a really great experience.

We couldn't have asked for 2 better coaches and 2 better groups of girls. I have sat and listened to other coaches yelling at their team and being negative about everything the girls are doing and it has made me so grateful that our coaches are genuinely trying to encourage the girls and make them better soccer players.

Emily has been able to play with several of her friends and also make new friends on her team. Lindsey didn't know anyone on her team, but has become friends with several of them. They are cute, darling, great girls!

We have to travel a little bit to get to games (like to Tooele, American Fork, Kaysville, etc.), but it's been great! We usually bring 3 other little fans with us - Jack, Kate & Hannah - and they have been really great about going to the games.

Great work #27 and #29! We're sure proud of you!

Lindsey does great on both offense and defense. She's scored several goals and is really a threat when she's on the defensive end too. We're proud of you Lindsey!









Emily has surprised all of us - including her coach! He has used her as a forward & striker and she's done a great job. She hustles out there and moves the ball well. Most teams that her team plays have played together for a couple of years (and hers is a brand new one), so it's been a learning year, but they've done great! Emily has scored a goal and I had to laugh because afterwards, she had the hugest grin on her face. I've only seen that big of a grin once before - when she walked into the hospital room to see Hannah for the first time. Great job Em!

You are a troooper! And also the nicest/busiest Mom there is to go to so many practices and games.

There are both so cute in their soccer uniform.

The use of soccer uniforms in marketing has helped the main brands of sports clothes and these uniforms, especially the jerseys are used by young people to go out to parties, going to shopping centres and even on dates.
