Soccer Season

William getting ready for a break away.

Kyle loves to pose! He did great in his game!


Brad is number 54, getting ready to make a great pass!

We have recently had a few problems with our camera, and are still working out the issues, so we have had a lack of pictures the past few months. We did however get things figured out long enough to get a few pictures of the boys playing soccer. Brad and William played for Gretna and Kyle played for the Omaha Football Club. They have each had very good seasons.

Brad's team has been very good for him. They are the under 12 team and they include 9, 10, and 11 year olds. Some of the kids on his time have obviously had or are starting to have their growth spurts. Brad is not in this category. It has been great for him to play with older players as it helps him increase his own skills. He learned a lot this year, and it was obvious that he was playing at a new level by the end of the season.

Kyle played OFC this season. He was originally signed up for Gretna as well, but they didn't have room on the team so we went to OFC for him. We were very happy with his coach and team. He learned a lot of skills and most importantly had fun.

William loves playing soccer and it has been really good for him in the past seasons and this season was no exception. It really helps him build his confidence, work together with others, and play fair. On one of his first games he asked, "If I score 10 goals can we go get an ice cream?" We thought there was no way this would happen and agreed. He scored 12 that game, and we got ice cream. Brad was helping the coach one day getting the balls that went out of bounds. When he ran past william he heard him saying, "Karate chop that ball." As he took the ball from the opposing team and took off down the field.

Matt was a trooper going to all the games. He is adimately requesting that HE gets to play soccer next time.
