Spring Soccer 2011: Zac

Halfway through April soccer started. It was a welcome mix up to months indoors. And it was awesome this season, because Zac is starting to get it!

At the first game Zac got 2 goals. He stayed on the ball with shorter kicks and was more brave about getting in the "cluster" of kids to get the ball. There are 6 kids on a team and they play 3 on 3. There is a bigger opportunity to have access to the ball. Also, they don't do practices at this age, unless the coach is really on top of it. They just play 40 mins games, two times a week.

Two kids on the team dropped out so there's not much rest time, which gets interesting as the game progresses. But Zac does great! I'm so proud of him.

He had another game where he scored 2 goals, and then the last game he scored 3. Their team has also been pretty good at occasionally passing it to another player who makes the goal. So Zac has some assists too.  Its pretty fun to watch!
