It's SOCCER TIME!!!!

So I was lame and forgot my camera, but today Andrew started his second season of soccer. This year he is playing U-7 (under 7) Rockets in Lake Stevens. His team is called the Blue Tornadoes and it consists of 7 boys. 3 of the boys were on his team last year and 4 are new to the sport. It was very nice to see that the boys he has on his team from last year are the nice ones from last year. On his team last year was a little boy who thought the name of the game was "lets push everyone down like a bulldozer." He was a big kid too so it didn't take much effort. It was annoying though. Most games I thought Eric's head was going to explode from frustration. He (and I) would have pulled our kid and made him sit if he acted like that. Anyway, I digress. The biggest changes this year is that the games are longer (45 minutes rather than 30 last year) and the boys are in general a bit more competitive and pushy, at least at the start of the game until they wear themselves out. It was interesting to see them get out there and be aggressive for the ball. Andrew did really well. He is a major team player which is nice to see. He gets in there are goes for the ball but he doesn't try and hog it like some kids do. His team won today 4-1 (although there is officially supposed to be no score) and that made him happy. It should be a fun season and I am looking forward to it!
