Soccer

The kids are playing soccer again this season.  They seperated the boys and girls and changed the field size.  They are playing 4 on 4 with no goalie.  Logan was pretty bumed, because he wanted to try and be goalie this season.  Logan has secured his position as the team's defender.  He has gotten much better about charging to the ball and clearing it.  Everyonce in a while he will completely miss the ball, but he is pretty quick so most of the time he can get his missed ball before it makes it into the goal.  He is on a pretty good team this year, they just beat the team they were tied for first place with yesterday.  There are good little boys on his team and they are having a great time!!  Annie has improved this season from last year.  She would only last about 5 minutes of playing time and then she wanted a break.  This season due to a coach and daughter leaving, the girls don't have much time for resting.  She still has quite a bit of work to do, but doesn't share the crazy drive to succeed that Logan does.  She says that she enjoys soccer and wants to continue playing.  Robert and I decided she doesn't really have a choice, but we are glad that she has fun.  She is on the same team as her bestie and they are just happy to spend time with each other.  I think we will have her play spring soccer this year to continue to work on her skill and understanding of the game.  Time will tell.  Annie's team is challenging to watch and they are not doing so well this year.  We have two games left, hopefully they will pull out another win.
