The fall season of soccer ended mid October. Kelsey and Derek did so well. Both them and there teams did well and improved so much from the beginning of the season to the end. Kelsey's team name is The Melon Rangers and they are a bunch of cute girls and we had a lot of fun together. They are all first graders except one second grader on our team and we were kicking butt at the end of the season there were little who could intimidate my little team. They play with a lot of heart. Two games at the end of the season it was really rainy and in fact one of the weeks we were the only game going on at the time because it was coming down and we had three of our girls show up we needed two more but we settled for one more, Derek. The other team had 6 players and we won. They had so much fun playing in the rain and Derek did really well playing defense for the Melon Rangers. He thought he was really cool too.
Derek's team was the Strikers and they were awesome. Derek played so well for his first season he is very defensive minded. When all the kids would bunch up you wouldn't find Derek in there he would patiently be waiting for the ball to bounce out so that he could get it. It took him a couple of gamed to figure out that you can not just chase the person with the ball you actually have to kick it so they will not score a goal and once he figured that out he could stop just about anyone. He took such great pride in himself when he would have a good game. Tom was the best coach too. He had some tough boys on the team and he was so patient, had I been the coach I would have been grouchy a lot of Saturday's, just trying to keep them focused for just 45 minutes top. But needless to say Tom loved the boys and the boys loved Tom. What a good lookin bunch.
Well until the spring we shall enjoy this little break of nothing much to do on Saturday's!
