Moving into a new place, one of our first priorities was to get the boys involved in things so that they could quickly make friends and stay busy! We signed them both up for soccer. The season started about the same time as school started and ended last week. It was Eli's first time playing and he did really well. I'm sure having an older brother helped- He has watched Evan play, He has kicked the ball around with Evan and Glen, and being the little brother- He has had to be a little more aggressive! It was so fun to watch him play...He is fast and really good at figuring out where the ball is going to go. At the first few games we noticed him kind of holding back from "the pack" (all the players on the field surround the ball completely, just hoping to get a kick in... it's quite a sight!) So Glen was telling him "Eli you gotta get in there and get that ball!" Eli looked at him and said "Daaaad- I am waiting for the ball to pop out from all the kids and I can take it down and score a goal!" We never thought of that! It was a pretty smart strategy! Eli had the best coach that we have ever met. He made it so much fun for the kids and was really enthusiastic! Eli loved soccer and he especially liked the treats at the end of the game!
Eli and "Coach"
Yeah Wolves!!!! Go Evan!!! Awooooh!!!!!!!
Evan loves to play soccer! I know every parent thinks their kid is the best on the team.... but Evan seriously is!!! He is the only player who had total control of the ball while kicking it, He has great foot work! He is fast, and tough, and smart about the game! He scored lots of goals and made us proud!
