Soccer Season re-cap

Well, soccer season went a little like this......

THE DEFEATED (almost)

Meet crazy legs Chamberlain (nickname from coach Andy). She had a great year playing even though their team lost almost every game. They made significant improvements throughout the season and won their last game at the jamboree! Wahoo! One of her favorite more memorable moves was what we called the mule kick.....and what she called "cool".
Please see below.....

(neat huh?)

Then there was the.....

UNDEFEATED


Nojah shined this year in soccer and most importantly had so much fun. He had the luxury of playing on 2 teams, which gave him more playing time and experience. The 8-10 year olds named the pink warheads and the 11-13 year old age group (who didn't ever come up with a name.) All the kids played well together, showed great teamwork and respect toward one another. The older kids especially impressed me with their kindness and compassion. It was a really fun year.



His size really did show when he was playing with the older kids but he didn't hold back and played really well with them. I attribute a lot of his success to his coach Amy! She was SO good with the kids and Nojah loved playing for her.

Thanks to all the coaches and volunteers who made the year a success! What's next? Basketball I think??

Totally cool. I am so proud of both of my grandkids and so glad that I got to see the 'mule kick' first hand. What a treat! I love reading your blog. I hope that you have been printing it off and making a book of it. You will never regret having it to give to your kids as a record. I wish I had done something like this for you. Love, Mom.

Very good advice about printing it. I'm still thinking about printing mine. All I ever do is think though. Your kids are so athletic. I love it! Nojah has that 'jock' look (in a good way!)--Look out, Mom. The girls are gonna start calling. He just looks so natural--like he is born to play sports. I LOVE Alexyss' mule kick. That is the best move EVER! Love you guys!
