Soccer



This morning we played the blue team. Jonathan was scared. They were a tough team at practice/scrimmage on Monday. They were bigger. Stronger. Faster. Perhaps the green team had met it's match. We did our best to tell the boys it's not about winning at this level, it's about learning the fundamentals of soccer. It was a fierce battle. Kids were running their hearts out. Feet were kicking anything that moved. Kids were crying. (Okay maybe just Jonathan when he hurt his knee-he made a full recovery). Eric left everything he had on the field. Don and I were considering adding a regimen of kiddie steroids to the boys' diet. At the end of the 45 minute game it was Blue Team 5, Green Team SIX! WE BEAT THE BLUE TEAM. GREEN TEAM ROCKS! WE WON! WE WON!
