Soccer

Nathan and his friend, Drew, have joined a new soccer team. Nathan started playing soccer when he was 5 and stayed with that team several years. Then the group split up and we joined a different team with some of the previous players. Nathan always liked soccer but once he started playing flag football, he kind of lost interest. But he and Drew decided they wanted to play soccer and be on the same team so we signed up together and were assigned to a brand new team. It's been interesting because we don't know anyone except for drew and his family. It has been great though. Nathan was able to pick right up where he left off and is pretty much the star of the team! This is how it was with his basketball team too. His little ego is completely inflated now :) His soccer team is actually really good, but they are learning to work together. They lost their first game, tied their second game (Nathan and Drew each got their two points) and won the third game. The third game's score was 4-0, and Nathan got all four goals! It was crazy! He really likes his team, but also loves being with Drew...and being so good :) And once soccer is over, Drew's dad formed a flag football team with kids from Hicks. Nathan can't wait for that to start!!! It will be fun because it will be with all of Nathan's friends. So the kids will have fun being together and so will the parents! He'll still play with his usual flag team, but they only play in the fall. This will be great practice before the fall team starts.
