The end of soccer season has arrived! Let us all give thanks for the end of soccer season. In retrospect, I have a new found reverence for our parents who took us through so many seasons of youth sports. While it is fun to watch the kids play, fun to yell from the sidelines, and fun to just be outside - it wipes you out! No wonder soccer moms are so tough. Andrew had a great season with his team the Samurais and Peter with the Furious Sharks. They both have come a long way in their ability to play this game. Andrew is a tenacious runner and his speed on the field is his biggest asset. Peter seems to have a knack for seeing where the ball is and is super aggressive. Peter is also figuring out that he can dribble the ball past a lot of kids and had a few goals this year based on some tricky baseline moves. Both the boys had great coaches who were super dedicated and a lot of fun. They also had some good friends on the team. My favorite part was that most of their games were near the playground, so we could let Emma and Abby romp around with Ethan while we watched the games. Peter had 2 others kids from primary on his team. One game, all three of them scored. The Mormon trifecta! In all, soccer season was a ton of fun, but I am glad it only happens once a year....for now.
