First Soccer Game of 2008

Yes, it is a little late in getting posted, but for some reason, it seems like I never have any down time lately.....but, I had to take a minute to get these in, I was very proud of my boys.



First, we have Austin's game(s)...his first one of the season and it happened to be a double header. I guess this age group only got 3 teams, so they will be taking turns doubling up. The exciting part is, they won both games. The poor kids seemed to be pretty tired by the second game, but it was exciting to see them work together and pull off another win. I know it isn't about winning or losing, but it is still exciting when last year it was pretty much a fight to actually get Austin to participate in the "game" on Saturdays.


Then we had Brady and Skylar's game, with dad as coach. This was a first of a few things, Brady's first game of soccer, the first game of the season, James' first time coaching soccer. I must say considering we had somewhat of a rocky start....lost a couple players to another team, had a new player with only 1 practice in....we ended up having a good game. It was a good, overall, down to the wire game where we didn't know who was going to win until it was over. We did end up winning by 1 point...needless to say, that gave the team a lot of confidence, so we'll see what happens next weekend.

Sounds like you guys had an exciting weekend....I think it is really great that James is a coach too! He is such a great dad, and we always love seeing him at school!!

Glad to see you back. The double header for soccer games is so much for the little kids.
