Ben's Fall Soccer Season

Balancing 2 soccer teams as the coach

is difficult.

Only because of the schedule.

Like for this last game of the season.

It is a make-up game from

a rainy weekend.

Thus it got put during the saturday

Emma's soccer team was playing

there finals.

And the worse thing happened.

Emma's game went into overtime

and made it impossible for Larry

to get over to Ben's game.

Thankfully one of the Dad's stepped up

and coached the team until Larry could get there 10

minutes late.

Since Ben's team is still young,

they don't participate in the end of the

season championship brackets.

And the Association doesn't keep track of the

scores.

But we know the boys won all their games

except 1!!

What a season!!

Ben has been working on his aggressiveness.

And has turned out to be pretty quick.

We are so proud of his improving skills!

We were shocked at how much faster he

has become this year.

He always seemed to be the first one

down the field to stop

a break-away!!

Ben even volunteered to be an

extra player during Emma's practices

when one was needed.

He has learned a lot by being a part

of an older team.

Ben's buddies,

Marcus and Hudson

cheer him on!

Ben tries hard to keep his feet on

the ground while he throws in the ball.

Ben and his teammate Jeremiah.

Random photo of busy-body Dan!

He has been better at staying near the stadium seats

while he wanders around with friends.

Ben runs off the field when it's time

for a substitution!

RUN!!!

Larry is a great coach.

He has really got the hang of it,

and is so good at pushing the boys.

All lined up at the end of the game

to show sportsmanship

to the other team!

Good job boys!!!
