Bet you’ve always wanted to know what a purple dragon looks like.

You think that’s cute? You should see a team of 15 Purple Dragons all clustered around a soccer ball because they haven’t yet learned that in soccer you’re supposed to s-p-r-e-a-d   o-u-t and kick the ball to one another. But no, that’s not how the Purple Dragons roll. Purple Dragons all crowd around the ball and kick each other in the shins while squealing in delight. There is no better time for shin guards than in youth soccer.

Here is Zoe sizing up the competition and yelling for her team to do more shin kicking:

(Notice again the cluster of both Purple Dragons and Pink Princesses crowded around the poor, unsuspecting ball.)

The Purple Dragons kicked the Pink Princesses butts last night. More butt and shin kicking to come, as the season has just begun.

1. She looks so cute. Purple Dragons. I love it! For T-ball, Julia’s team was simply The Blue Team. Purple Dragons are way cooler.

2. Great, deceptively sweet names…Look out or they might turn into girls’ rugby; scary!
