Another awesome soccer game today! Today wash supposed to be a wash out (weather wise). So we were worried we would get rained out. After having such a productive practice on Thursday...it would be a shame to not play. But the rain held out...and the game played on. We won 5 to 0! Yeah us! Ben scored a goal on the first possesion of the game. Everyone was really passing and spreading out perfectly (that's a rare thing for 7yr olds to do). Our superstar Chase scored 3! And a sweet girl named Jessica scored the other. It was very exciting. The parents....grandparents...aunts...uncles...brothers and sisters were all on their feet shouting their support! Iv'e got to say that coaching these soccer teams (every fall and spring) is just about the most fun I have all year! If you've never coached one of your kids teams...I highly recommend it! We knew nothing about soccer (Chris coached girls basketball for many years). But we just signed up...looked online for some age appropriate drills...bought a whistle...and started coaching (5 & 6 yr olds). Then when Ben and Kristian moved up ...we moved up to the 7 & 8 yr olds. I think once they turn 9 we will step aside (that's when they officially start taking score) and let them be coached by someone else.

The games are getting more exciting as the kids get better at playing.
Even Kai's team (the Lions)has some good players.
