Also, know as "shit gets real".
This is the first of a two part installment of this blog dealing with soccer. First up, James's soccer. He was right on the cut off of playing with Andy in the 6 and under division, but we decided to put him in the 8 and under division. It was the right decision, but wow, completely different world. They had goalies, and throw ins, and tryouts, and actual drills to get better in practice.
Again, shit just got real.
But James took it like he always does, with a smile and a determination to win. His coaches were super hard core and talked a lot about "strategy" and stuff. I'm not sure James ever really paid attention
They actually played positions and James found out he had a favorite position...center forward!
Whenever he was in defense, he wasn't really into it. Its funny he would watch the play and cheer for his team when the didn't get scored on, but he wouldn't get involved...
But, James learned a lot and he did pretty well! We are super proud of him.
Another funny thing that happened during James's game was Andy playing with the other kids. It was super cute. I remember playing on the sidelines during Keturah's soccer games maybe even more than I remember playing in my own soccer games. It is neat to see my kids do the same thing.
