Soccer Season Wrap Up
Yesterday was our last outdoor soccer games for the Fall. It couldn't have come at a better time. The weather has been beautiful up until this last week and we got to play and watch in gloves, coats, hats, etc. so we were ready to move indoors. :)
Kate's last game was on Friday evening. She had her best game. She's getting more confident and less afraid of the ball. She got to play quite a bit and she couldn't help running over to me at half time so proud of herself! I am so happy she's enjoying soccer. It has helped her a ton. I can't believe the difference it has made in her little life right now. It has helped her build and strengthen friendships, feel a part of and feel the support of having a team, and has helped her build her confidence in herself and overcome some of her fears.
Isaac's last game was Saturday morning. It was pretty freezing at 9am but I was able to finally talk him into wearing long sleeves and pants so he was fine. Isaac is so stinkin' fast! He is such a little hustler out there on the field. He is the youngest player in the Rage Academy. He's playing against kids who are 9 years old but honestly, he is keeping up just fine. He has no fear so he is right in the middle of the action trying to get the ball. He had a few breakaways but didn't get a goal. But I think he had a ton of fun and has learned a lot and improved a lot.
Calvin's last game was Saturday evening. Calvin played so well! He always plays well but he was just on fire in his game today. He plays left defender and/or center defender and he was rockin' it yesterday! He pushed forward several times and they passed it back and he was able to take a few shots from outside (no goals). He even had a bicycle kick! I knew he would be SO excited about that one. He's been practicing that for months. Years even! And it was perfect! I just wish I'd had my camera. :) Calvin's team went undefeated this season (8-0) and even beat La Roca! I think they only had 6 goals scored on them total for the entire season, including 5 shut-outs (which makes Calvin pretty proud since he plays defense and doesn't get to score goals). He has loved his team which includes his best friend Scotty and several other friends from last year and from Harvest Hills. He has loved his coach, Mateus, who has taught these boys a ton.
Now we move on to futsal. I don't even think we get a week off. I think they start next week! But, they love it so what do you do? :)

I'm so happy they were able to play on the same team- and now futsal. Love those kiddos.
