Soccer - Here We Go Again!

Les and Zak are both playing soccer again this year. I am always impressed by Les on the soccer field. He is an awesome goalie, but is also very good on offense as well. He is old enough now that he has referees, and the rules are really important now. On his first game as goalie, he stopped about 7 shots at the goal, but he also scored a goal on the other team. His games are getting more and more fun to watch as the boys skills are improving so much now.

Zak is still playing on the smallest field and only working on the very basic skills still. He missed the cutoff to be on an older team by just a few days. He is a full head taller than any other boys on the field, and he is fast. He gets the game, and sometimes I worry that he doesn't like playing with the smaller, younger kids, but he always has a good time at the games, and is quick to point out when he is faster or more knowledgeable than another player. (We'll work on humility next season!!)

This year, Brian decided to coach Zak's team. It is so basic compared to when he has coached Les and Amber that he was afraid that he wouldn't like it. He loves it because there is no stress. It is just a show up-have fun philosophy at this age.
So it is officially soccer season at our house. That means crazy, busy Saturdays. Our neighbor commented that we wear him out watching us come and go! But we love it! GO (green and maroon) DEVILS!
