Soccer

We decided to try soccer again with Jon and while we were at it we put Joey in so that he could play a team sport and try something different. 

Jon's team was supposed to have it's second practice last Thursday but since there was a fugitive on the loose that had killed an officer the park was closed due to him being seen in the are and so no practice. Good idea!

His first game was on Saturday morning after the Blue and Gold. 

He is a better player than he was this fall. He was more aware and seemed to have better control of his body which lead to better control of the ball. 

 I don't think his team won but it was a really good game!

Joey's team has had several practices and several cancelled at the last minute leaving me at a park with my kids and not knowing it had been cancelled. Also Joey's coach informed the parents the first practice that some of the kids has told him they were there to have fun- he said no we are here to win. So, in order to "take the team to the next level" he is holding practice 4 days a week for 90 minutes each time. This is a little more than we had bargained for and 2 of those practices interfere with taekwondo so we have decided he will go twice a week and attend the games.  Unfortunately Joey's first to games are during the exact same time as the Blue and Gold and this Saturday during his taekwondo testing. I am one of those must make everything types of people so this is good for me to have to choose and let go.  We can not make everything and that is okay. Joey is liking it which is really what matters. I want him to have a good experience.
