Soccer

So I am a week late and haven't downloaded pictures yet but here are the boys games in detail.

Alex: This year they are learning positions. 3 in back, 3 in front and goalie. Each kid gets to play each position. Which is good I guess unless it is a close game and you kid is in the goal. Ugh! Poor Alex he was in the goal and they scored on them. It was then their lead by like 2 goals. So not his fault if they lost just made him sad that he couldn't stop the ball. Then to make matters worse someone kicked the ball up in the air to clear it out of the mess they were all huddled in. And of course Alex gets kicked with the ball int he face! He goes down. Poor kid. Had a ugly light bruise for the next few days. BUT he sat out one round (inning, quarter whatever it is called)and then went back in! That is my team player! Poor kid. his team wound up loosing like 4 to 2. Oh well. He plays with 3rd graders and 2nd graders however I think it is only him and one other 2nd grader with all 3rd graders on his team. Guess that will make him better later on. =)

Jordan: Oh the woe! We have had a hard time with him this year. At first he was practicing ont he wrong team. On a team with 2nd and 3rd graders. Then we found the right team and together they won the game. This past Saturday though they got beat BAD! The other team only had 4 players and one sibling of one of the players who was in kindergarten. So like 4 1/2 players totaly. Compared to their 7 players. UGH Jordan didn't go to the ball but basically just stood their and waited for them to give himt he ball, which of course didn't happen. So needless to say they lost like 20 to 0. Not even kidding. His team stunk. He had another practice yesterday and Andrew went with him to see how his coach was coahing since this year Andrew couldn't coach them and hey I am wondermom but I have NO idea about soccer and it's rules. SO he went came back and was like no wonder they lost so bad. The coach is just having them run around. Not like passing or dribbling or anything just running around. I thought maybe she was teachingf them not to crowd aorund the ball but to pass to each other. but he said no. Just running around. =)

So we will see how they do this week. I will try and post pics of this weeks games soon.
