Soccer Players

It is that time again for spring soccer.  Emily has given up on soccer but still likes to play for fun.  Colby and Logan, however, still love the game and wanted to keep playing this year.  They are getting pretty good at it as well.

Colby's age group is getting more and more competitive so he has learned to run faster and kick further.  He likes to play defender though so he stays near the goal and then kicks the ball out of the way before it gets too close to the goalie.  Here are some fun shots of Colby:

He had a blast playing this year and took every game pretty seriously.  He didn't know many of the kids on his team but after working together in games, they all got to be friends.

Good season Colby!  He even scored a few goals of his own as well as blocked many of the other teams' attempts.

Logan also had a blast playing this season.  He is still getting the hang of soccer but he is picking it up quickly.  He is especially good at running fast to the ball and kicking it down field.  He is getting better at dribbling and was able to take the ball down the field a few times. Here are some fun shots of Logan:
Logan also scored a few goals for his team this year.  This is a fun age to watch play because the kids are all just happy to be there playing and having fun.  Logan also didn't know many on his team but was soon best friends with all of them.

Good job, Logan!  Keep on practicing boys and you will be great!

I wasn't going to let the boys be the only ones having fun so I took the ball from them a few times and made them chase me:
It is fun to get out and run and play with the kids.  I really should to it more often.  Colby was amazed that I could dribble the soccer ball and run faster than them.  Yes boys even though I am old, I can still out run you!!
