It has begun. Actually it started a few weeks ago, but it's all the same. Jayden is playing in Micro. That means one practice a week and one game. I'm coaching his team and we are having a great time! He runs around the field talking to the kids. He doesn't ever really kick the ball, but he seems to have fun.
Dylan is in the 6-8th grade league. He gets tired quickly and his ankles are sore, but he hussles! He has improved so much. He attacks the ball and is a strong passer. He usually plays forward position, for those who are Soccer illiterate that means he plays and the front of everyone and tries to make a goal. This is pretty impressive considering that he is the youngest on the team. The other night he made a shot and barely missed the goal.
Aaron is the tallest in the league by at least five inches. He is also one of the quickest players. He also plays forward with Dylan. So far I haven't seem him pass it much to Dylan, but he'll learn that he can count on Dylan and hopefully he'll pass more. Next week is tryouts for the Middle School soccer team and he'll play on that as well.
Last, but not least, is Morgan. She is in the 4-5th grade league. Some of the boys are already big kids, but this hasn't stopped her. She goes right after the ball. Even though she didn't play last year, she hasn't seemed to be behind at all. She loves playing goalie, but she is so aggressive that forward is a better position for her. It is going to be a fun year watching all of them!
