well we have been playing soccer this week 3 different times in the polar cup tournament and i have thoroughly enjoyed watching all these boys that were on my son's team give it their all. it started wednesday. we played this team who we found out were a carded rep team from the city. they were a year behind our boys and they were amazing. you could tell by looking at the boys and the coaches that they were going to be good the minute they stepped on the field.... and they were! on friday we played another city team, the juventus which are known to be a great sports team. they did well also. today we played another local team we normally play and it was so exciting to watch this close game with all these kids (all 30 of them) that normally play each other, go to school with one another and are very equal in their game play. we came out and won 3-2. it was a close game. the 2 goals scored on us were somewhat fluky but heck we will take it! the game we had on wednesday i thought was really going to kill morale for the rest of the tournament but we got stronger in each game after. my son got a hard ball to the face in friday's game. he was pulled off the field. he was fine but a little shaken for today's game. going to have to get him back into it so he can be ready for the new year. we are no longer in exhibition for the season. our scores now matter so it is back to training for our team. as we are not a house league, so many people take this seriously. i just want to see my son develop some skills and see if this is something he wants to continue you on with.
i sure love watching kids this age doing what they love and playing their best. it is nice to see a change from kids sitting on their behinds playing video games 24/7. not only that... man it sure is a proud mommy moment!
