Fall soccer has come and gone. Wasn’t that fast! Ben coached both teams again this year and we had a lot of fun. Wednesday evenings we’d eat pancakes and then hurry to the practice field at 5:30. Packer’s team practiced for 45 minutes and then Benji’s team for an hour. I liked being at the practices. Cali will be old enough to play next fall. Do we dare let Ben try to coach a third team? The kids have been able to be on the same team as their cousins so that makes it extra fun.

Braden, Packer, Sam, Calista, Trevor, Luca, Eli. Jake wasn’t there. Packer loved the treats the most, practices second, and games the least. He is still a very timid player but he did come through with 2 goals. There are lot of standouts on his team and they went undefeated. Good Job Green Ninjas!

The Destroyers were also green this year. Benji switched to all boys ( no cousins). Bigger field. Bigger goals. They have goalies now and throw ins. His team was all the boys that he played with for the last three years and combined with a new set of boys. Benji, Cannon, Seth, Tua, Abe, Austin, Kael, Gabe, Hayden. Connor was gone.

Benji has decided that he likes defence. He is on the far left. He has improved but still has a tendency to get out of the way instead of taking it and away. The Destroyers had 3 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie game.
