a possible end in sight?

This week has been insane for McKayla.

Monday - 1 hour of track, 2 hours of soccer practice
Tuesday - 1 hour of track, 2 hours of basketball practice
Wednesday - 1 hour of track, 1 soccer game
Thursday - 1 hour of track, 1 1/2 hours of soccer practice, 1 basketball game
Friday - 1 hour of track, 2 hours of soccer practice

Saturday will bring more soccer practice and more basketball games.

On top of that, we got the proposed soccer tournament schedule for the rest of the year:

March - Las Vegas
April - Temecula, CA
May - State Cup (here in Utah)
June - tournaments 3 weeks in a row in Colorado, Utah, then California
July- early October - high school play (no club soccer allowed)
October - Arizona
November - San Diego
December - indoor at BYU

Now for the good news:

One, basketball is officially over after Saturday. Two, McKayla is thinking that maybe her goals don't match up with her soccer club's goals so she is thinking about not playing for Utah Glory next year (which would mean she probably wouldn't play any tournaments from June on).

McKayla's club team is really focused on getting all of the players scholarships to play soccer in college. As much as she would like to play in college, McKayla won't play for any college that has games/practices on Sundays. That pretty much limits her to BYU, BYU-Hawaii, and Utah State. McKayla recognizes that the odds of her being able to play for one of those schools is extremely slim. A lot of the tournaments her club team is entering now require Sunday play and McKayla won't do that either.

As much as McKayla loves playing soccer, she is beginning to think that a non-premiere level team (doing fewer out-of-state tournaments) might be a better fit for her.

I'm just hoping her sports schedule slows down enough that I don't have to employ a full-time driver for her!
