New club. New team. Another medal

At the end of last soccer season, Sydney informed us that she was ready for a new challenge. After several conversations with her, she informed us that she wanted to play with boys. Sydney has always had the desire and drive to play soccer at the highest level. She believes that in order to reach her goals she must push herself.

Sydney now plays for KC Legends on a U12 boys' team and a U13 girls' team.  She is currently developing more foot skills on the ball while playing against stronger and faster players. 

Her team won the CSI Tournament last weekend. She had several goals and played an integral part in the team becoming champions. 

Sydney has a framed picture in her room. It reads...

Dreams don't work

Unless you do!

She lives that motto and we are so proud.

4th of July

Sydney played 3 soccer games in the morning. We then returned home for food, and fireworks. Moriah loved the smoke bombs. In the evening, we headed to town for a concert and to enjoy the night-time firework display.

New house = New Projects

Edith Greene

On Friday, April 10 Sydney Hammett represented Pawnee Elementary at the Shawnee Mission Hero Assembly. Sydney was chosen by staff for her inspired enactment of Edith Greene. If you know Sydney's passion for sports, then it is easy to understand why Title IX is so important to her.

Lexus Cup in Tulsa

Sydney and I headed to Tulsa last weekend for the Lexus Cup Tournament. 

Her team only allowed 3 goals all weekend. 

Sydney finished the tournament with 3 goals and 1 assist.

Sydney's team won all four matches and they were crowned U11 Gold Division Champions.

I enjoyed the father-daughter bonding time we had over the weekend and it was also nice to bring the "hardware" back home to Kansas for the second year in a row.

2014 HIT Tournament Champions

This weekend, Marshall experienced his first tournament championship with his new team. This summer Marshall made the move to KC Legends and is now playing Division I soccer. Marshall scored the game winning goal in Saturday's game via a penalty kick. The championship game was tied at the end of regulation and so the game went to penalty kicks.

Moriah's Halloween Party

KU football weekend. Sydney took her best friend to the game and we all had a blast.

Portland Trip

Feedin' the goats

It was a beautiful day and a great time at Deanna Rose. Moriah loves the goats.

Challenger Cup makes 6!

Sydney played in the Challenger Cup last weekend and once again her team came out on top. Her team played up in the U11 division. They had to battle older, bigger, and faster girls. Everyone on the team rose to the challenge and their efforts were rewarded with another medal.

For the record, Sydney's team has been in six tournaments this season. They have taken first place in 4 out of the 6. In the other two they finished in second place. Our home has been filled with numerous medals and many wonderful memories.

Another tournament = Another medal

Last weekend we traveled to Oklahoma for the Lexus Tulsa Cup. Sydney's team played two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday. They went 4-0 and were crowned tournament champions for their age bracket.
