Soccer

Tyler is playing in a soccer league for the first time and had his first game yesterday. In the past Tyler did soccer programs that taught the kids skills in a fun way. They would scrimmage some at the end of class but they didn't play games. They didn't keep score during yesterday's game, which is a good thing because I think our opponent had about 20 more goals than our team. The kids played 3 on 3 (no goalie) and every five minutes or so the coaches would sub everyone out for the next 3 players. Tyler almost made a goal but it bounced off the left post. He did have an awesome save where he got between his opponent and the goal, right in front of the goal, and he cleared the ball away from the goal as his opponent was trying to score. Tyler was very proud of that move after the game.

Ready to go in his fiery new cleats

Tyler in action.

Even though the game was early, it was pretty hot
out. Tyler was super sweaty and probably drank
about half of his big water jug. I told him he
looked sweaty enough to be a World Cup player.
