it's that time again. competitive soccer try-outs. abe really wanted to make the black team this year. he gave it everything he had at try-outs. they lasted two days. on the second day he scored two goals and he made the team! kai also tried out for the U9 team, even though he is only seven. for weeks he has been counting down the days until try-outs. one day he said to me, "i am a little scared, because i really want to make the team." i was so happy he expressed his feelings. i think that is a good skill for everyone, but i am trying to help my boys be able to do that. anyway, he was fun to watch during try-outs because he is so competitive and he was trying so hard. they did a dribbling drill one at a time and kai threw a scissors move in there and then looked at the coach like, 'did you see that?'
they asked dave to coach a U9 white team and they put a few seven year old on the team and kai was one of them. he is so excited to be part of a comp team and even more excited that dave is going to be his coach!
