Soccer Weekend

Soccer finally began this weekend. I'm coaching Stefan's team, the Outlaws. I have 6 little boys on the team. They had a great game. They won 16-1. Stefan scored 10 of the 16 goals. He towers above the others and has really picked up some good skills. These boys really enjoy playing the game. I don't have any pictures of Stefan playing since I was coaching. I'll have Joe takes some next time.

Some of the kids on Joey's team have now played together for three years. They are really starting to get as a unit. In his age bracket, they travel to different local soccer clubs to play. Their first game was in Battle Ground. They won 8-2 and Joey scored 3 of the goals. He has a wicked left foot kick and was able to score from the left side with it. He also helped to set up several goals for his buddies.This is Joey (#9) with a buddy. Joey had just scored and his buddy had helped him out. They had just finished "chest bumping" ... which is not good sportsmanship. We'll put an end to that.

Emmi's first game ended up getting canceled, so her coach ran a quick practice with the girls. She will play this Friday night as well as Saturday morning. Emmi on the left.
