Soccer Pro

We have been looking forward to soccer season for a few months now. We love being outside and rooting for our favorite little soccer player - Zach. He absolutely loves playing sports, especially soccer.

I have forgotten to take the camera to more games than I'd like to admit, so these pictures and video clip are courtesy of Jeremiah who took them a week ago when I wasn't able to go. Funny how I remembered to send the camera when I wasn't going to be there!

Here's Zach protecting his goal. Technically, they don't have goalies at this age, but his coach is still teaching them to help protect the goal when the ball is down there.


Here's our little number 12 getting instructions from the assistant coach. We've been so proud to see him listen and follow the instructions that they give to him.


And here he is chasing down the ball. He really has some speed when he decides to kick it into gear.


And here's a little video clip of him in action.



He has really done well this year. It's been fun to watch him add new skills to the ones he's already learned in past years playing. He scored 4 goals his first game and at least 1 per game since then. I think he's really having a fun time playing, I know we sure are having a fun time watching and cheering for him! GO ZACH!
