You might remember my post last fall about soccer and my folly in missing the spring soccer sign-up deadline, thus making it necessary to have both Hailey and Zach in soccer in the fall at the same time, which then overlapped with flag football for a month. Yes, it was a crazy September, so you can bet there was no way I was missing the spring soccer sign-ups this year! Honestly, I think I signed up the first day to be sure I didn't forget. We decided that with flag football in the fall, it made the most sense to sign Zach up for spring soccer and Hailey up for fall soccer. So both are now signed up and ready to go.
Spring soccer started last month and Zach was so excited! Luckily Hailey had dance to keep her busy, so there wasn't any frustration about not having something to do.
Here's our 4th grade soccer player getting ready for a game. Doesn't he look handsome and quite the sports enthusiast?
The first few games he spent quite a bit of time as a forward and scored 3 goals in the first 2 games.
Not long after, the coach realized that Zach is a natural defender, so he's spent more time in the recent games as a half back or full back.
That means a lot less goals, but he has helped prevent a ton of scores at our goal and they have continued to shut out a lot of the teams.
I am continually amazed at how sports-minded he is. He definitely gets that from his Dad, since I am not coordinated at all!
Way to go Zach, we are so impressed at how well you are doing, how much you continue to excel, and what a good player you are! We love coming to see you play!
