Today was the first day of Isabelle's soccer tournament. The tournament is being held at a fantastic sports complex in Aurora, CO about 20 miles east of where we are staying in Golden. It appears there are more than 50 fields and facilities that can accommodate a wide range of recreational activities including soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis and maybe even football. The field Isabelle's team played on had an artificial surface and was equippped with lights for night games.
The soccer tournament this weekend is hosted by a large Denver soccer club (Real Colorado) and attracts teams from all over Colorado and the .surrounding states There must be over 50 teams participating, all divided into boys and girls age brackets and skill levels.
Isabelle's team competes in the U-12 girls division for girls born in 2003/2004. They won their first two games against teams from Colorado and Texas today. Her team is very good and regularly wins tournaments throughout the mid western region where they participate.
All the players in the tournament also receive tickets to a MLS Colorado Rapids soccer game. The Rapids are the Denver area's MLS professional soccer team and regularly schedule a home game the Saturday night of the tournament. We all went to the game and saw the home team tie with the Philadelphia Union team.
There are two more games tomorrow then a championship game on Monday if they make the finals.
