Ammon was in the league with kids from ages 8-14. He was on a pretty short team, and he was nervous to play against one of the teams with a very tall 14-year-old we nicknamed "sasquatch". But he learned that size isn't everything! He had the same coach as last fall, and his team had another undefeated season just like last fall!!! His short team was incredible to watch! They were fast runners, and they knew how to score!!! Ammon, along with two other boys, were the best scorers for the team. Ammon was a great soccer player, and he'd really improved a lot from when he first started playing last fall!
Jonah and Micah had a much more positive experience this time around, too! It's amazing the difference from 6 months ago--last fall their team only won one game, their team had a lot of inexperienced young boys, and the twins didn't like playing. This spring, their team consisted of four boys age 6 and three girls age 4. They had a fun coach, their team was undefeated all season, and they really liked playing! Jonah and Micah and their teammate Ryan were the best scorers for the team! Every game there was multiple scoring from each of them! That definitely made soccer more fun for them, too!
Kanyon was dismayed every game that he had to stay along the sidelines with Mom and Dad. He usually went over to the soccer shed and got "his" ball out to play with on the sidelines while his brothers were playing on the field so that he could be a part of the game, too!
It was a delight for me to watch all my boys participate in the sport, and I loved watching them excel at it and enjoy playing the game in the process!!!
