Soccer Starts

It is amazing what a difference a year or two makes. 18 months ago Nicolas started soccer and was one of those herd-the-ball groups. They all hustled around the ball and didn't know what they were doing. Then he got a bit better and on a team with kids who played a tad longer due to birthdays... but last season we played older kids and were getting out played each week. This year we are back to playing our age group of kids and well... enjoying it! The kids get what they are doing to the most part and they are winning! Okay, only two games under our belts but so far so good!


Nicolas is finding his groove. He hangs on the outside and grabs that ball when the teams kick it out.

And he enjoys the friends on his team!

Here was an exciting play (clockwise from top left).
Got the ball... starts to break away... looking good for a real goal... dang, good save from the other team.

Better luck next game to get his own goal. He is determined!
