It's that time of year again when our lives are ruled by soccer!
This is Bethany's first year and she loves it and really likes that her daddy is the coach! She is playing up a year which means she is playing with kids one year older but we thought she could handle it and she has done well so far.
The first game it was all about looking lovely but when I told her it was okay to take the ball away from the other team I don't think she knew what to say. These last couple of games it has finally clicked! So now she will actually go after the ball and has even scored a few goals!
I love the faces Matthew pulls while he is playing! He's always been naturally skilled at soccer. He is able to score most every game but he is also really good at knowing where the other players are on the field and getting the ball to them if they have a better chance at the goal. He is a great team player!
Matthew is a good little goalie for his team too. He has an amazing drop kick!
Scott took a few years off of soccer and decided to try other things like guitar and tackle football but in the end he decided he wanted to play soccer again. So after three years off he is back on the field and doing great! I've been surprised at how aggressive he is. I thought maybe he would hang back but he is not afraid to go after the ball and get in the other player's faces. His team is in the highest division and has won every game so far.
The last game he played was pretty intense, the opposing team came from a league that is known for being the best in the area. At this game Scott stopped the ball, passed it to his team mate who then kick it in for a goal! Scott didn't think he had done anything great but without the assist there wouldn't have been a goal at all and that point is what won the game! He should be proud of himself!
