Spring soccer in full swing
I've probably mentioned before that soccer has become a year-round activity for Nick. He plays his main season in the fall, indoor soccer in the winter, spring soccer right now, and then will do conditioning and soccer camps in the summer. Young man has a passion for the game.
Spring soccer is pretty easy on us as the shuttle drivers: He plays Sunday afternoons and has no practices during the week. Nick will need to step up his fitness regimen for the next couple weeks to prepare for fall travel team tryouts, and we can accomplish that simply by sending him out to run around the neighborhood after school.
Anyway, here are Nick and the boys after their match this past Sunday afternoon, which they lost 2-1 after squandering a ton of chances in the first half:
You can't really see it in this picture, but because the spring team is a mish-mash of a couple of squads from different age and skill levels, we have at least three players wearing a #6 jersey. It's pretty funny to see when they line up to shake hands after matches.
