This was our first year doing Panthers. There are over 600 kids in SL involved in the organization. It starts in first grade and goes through eighth. It was a big commitment but for the most part Audrey really enjoyed it. It started on August 1st with practices 5 days a week for an hour and 15 minutes. After 2 weeks it moved to 3 days a week for an hour and a half. Games started the last week of August and we had 7 games at 9am every Saturday morning! None of us liked that. Some of them were 45 minutes away and none of us are morning people! We lucked out weather wise except for our last game when it was pouring and a balmy 38 degrees. That let us know it was time for the season to end. Our 1/2 grade football team went undefeated. They don't technically keep score but you know they really are.
The season ended with Cheerfest. Audrey's team did a cheer and pom routine, plus their sideline cheer. The competition really brought back good memories for me. It was run much the same way as my old high school competitions were. They received a gold medal all around, although all the 1/2 grade teams do, but we won't tell Audrey that. They worked really hard and actually looked pretty good!
