Rough End To Our Soccer Season


The first half of Zach's soccer season went really well, they won all of the first 4 games so the league moved them up to level 2 and at the same time one of the boys on the team got sick and never ended up coming back.

The last 4 games they didn't win any of them so it ended up being really hard on the boys.

They are in a 6 on 6 league and we have no extra boys so they played 5 on 6. One thing they have is heart. None of the boys ever gave up even being down on players, no breaks or timeouts in soccer is a tough thing to do at 9 but they are all much better players now and can run faster and longer than most kids their age. Even though they didn't win any more of the games they did play well as a team.

Zach has really come far with his soccer skills this year. He is a great unselfish player always passing to others when he thinks they might have a better chance of making a goal. It was fun to watch him grow and learn as the season went on. Now that soccer is over we are on to basketball and looking forward to spring soccer.
