The last weekend in September was the last weekend of fall rec league soccer for 3 of the boys. It was great weather-warm, sunny. We all cooked a little bit that day. Some extra vitamin D all around. We actually had 5 games that day-one each for Liam, Ewan and Cale and then into a double header for Marcus. Good times. Grammy Linda came out to see the games and help run players to games.
Liam played first. I get pretty excited when he actually tries to run and kick the ball. He did both that day. Maybe someday I won't have to yell "Run Liam" from the sidelines.
The team got their medals at the end of the game.
Go Eagles!
a proud boy
Cale and Ewan played next. I watch the first part of Cale's game and the second part of Ewan's game. Cale put up with me giving him lots of unsolicited advice about how to play that day. Cale played goalie for the first half and then was on offense. He played the entire game and scored a goal to help his team win 5-4.
Ewan did great in his game and also scored a goal. He has a lot of fun on the soccer field with his friends.
Go Panthers!
Cale's team came in second in the U10 division-the only aged division where they ranked the teams. It was a close race between two teams for second and third place and came down to the number of goals scored in games.
Cale also got "all-conference" for the U10 players. Each of the coaches picks 2 players who were the best players on their teams. Well deserved. Cale played his tail off in every game and worked hard in practice. He got a new soccer ball from the league as a reward.
And, that's it. I have put away the cleats and washed and put away the shin guards. Most of the soccer socks are sorted and portioned out to their owners. We are ready for a little bit of down time to relax and play at home without being tied to a practice schedule.
Till spring, soccer.
