This year's spring soccer season is going better than we could have hoped! Many Saturday mornings their games overlap slightly so we have to divide and conquer.
Alex was hesitant about trying soccer again, but is enjoying both practices and games. He often volunteers to be goalie and likes playing defensive positions the best. One game recently he even scored two goals! They played in the pouring rain also and afterwards he and his buddy Andrew took their snack into the goal to eat. Both boys agreed that was the "coolest game ever"! They play 7 v 7 on a full-sized field with a full-sized goal. It is a lot of running and we are so proud of him for picking up this team sport!
Abby thoroughly enjoys soccer as well. She's pretty aggressive on the field and likes to get into the mix and chase the ball. Her age group plays 2 v 2 on a very small field with two portable size goals. I think she gets a little bored with that and would like the challenge of a bigger field and more kids to play on her "team". We are impressed that she is enjoying soccer so much and will continue to encourage her to play as long as she likes it.
