Soccer Saturday

 

This weekend was our first day of all 3 kids having soccer games at different times in different cities, needless to say it was very busy.

We got the news about Aaron's team Friday afternoon and were told  he had a game the next day so it but us in a tight spot and had to make some changes to our plans but everything worked out. Aaron is playing with first and second grade kids which is perfect since this is his first time playing on a team.

Katie is doing really well this year.  Katie is playing U10 Travel which are girls 10 and under.  John is coaching her team and this is his first time coaching girls and it has been a little challenging for him, but he is doing a great job.

Zach moved up this year to U12 which puts him with the best kids his age and they play 8 on 8 which is different from U10.  He has improved from last year and is playing very well so far.

John, Katie, and Zach were not able to be at Aaron's first game because of Katie's game so I was the lone cheerleader for Aaron, and hes a good sport and didn't mind at all and still had a good time.

Aaron did so well in his game.  He played every position and did well at all of them. His team did a good job of following the ball around the field and his team ended up winning 4-0. Aaron didn't get a goal in the game but he tried hard and that's what counts. Its funny to watch 6 year olds play after being at so many of Zach's games in the past few years, but it will be fun to watch Aaron grow as he learns the game.

Katie's game was about an hours drive east and because I was with Aaron and John was coaching we don't have any pictures but she played a very good game and they ended up winning 6-0.  Zach's game was not to far away from where Katie was playing but her game wasn't going to be over in time to get Zach to the field for warm ups so we sent him with one of his friends who is on the team and we all met up at the field as the game was starting.

Zach played well and his team is starting to get there trust in him as he improves each week.  Its such a different and more challenging game than we were use to watching and all of the other parents have been watching for a couple years so we are learning from them as well. It will be a very busy but exciting soccer season for us. Zach's team ended up winning 6-1 and they all played very well together. We are looking forward to watching  all of our kids grow and improve this year and what a great start to our season.
