Soccer!

Soccer has started! Zach is on the Green Tigers. He is back with his friends Zach C. and Michael. They have the best coach: Coach Childers! Saturday was their first game. You can't miss them in this color. (My vote for team name was the "Sharpies", Doug wanted the "Hi-Liters"). The fields are bigger now, by more than 50%. They play 4 vs 4 and have a deffender now. The games are more exciting and more competitive now.

Here is Zach going for the ball! My fabulous, wonderful and spectacular soccer player! He loves it and is really excelling at it. Zach is ready for the kick off. Zach did very well his first game on the larger fields. He did play defender, but had a real hard time staying back. When he saw the ball open, he ran to it and was playing forward. At one time he was in the other teams goal box, but was blocked. He then had to sprint the whole length of the field to defend his goal. His team won 5-2. They keep score offically now and have an offical to make calls and run the game. We are in for one exciting soccer season!
