The Spring season kicked off with renewed excitement for soccer. I was excited that it was time to play soccer again. I'd moved on from my disbelief that I was a hypocrite and now fully embraced my role as a soccer dad. A travel soccer dad, that is. Reed was excited because his best friend, Britton, was now on the team.
Our Spring team was packed with talent. We had quite a few more players. That meant that we finally had more than one sub. My favorite quote from the season so far came when Ellie "B" kicked her first goal. This precious little angel-haired blonde boy named, James, who obviously has the gift of encouragement started cheering for her. He said "Ellie that is great! You are awesome! You did so good." It was so neat to see him cheering her own and then he finished "Because you usually don't get many goals." "B" did a great job and I'm impressed with how much all of the players have improved.
Meanwhile, the brothers have enjoyed soccer season starting back because that means more outside play time and because we are very interested in watching the game, they know they can get away with playing in dirt … lots of dirt.
These kids have my heart right here. They are all in my Sunday School class this year. It's so much fun to see them play and get to watch them grow. You are looking at future world-changers right there. That's three amazing kids!
Our first Spring tournament was a success. We dominated. I was so proud of the boys and their great atittudes. We've got a pretty awesome coach as well.
Go Insanity!
