Soccer once again


Hunter's first year playing soccer was last year.  All three of my children have wanted to play soccer, but Jeremy hates it and has always said no.  He hates how much commitment that there is for it.  I finally got him to say yes to Hunter because we put him on the Redstone team, which is the army base here.  It is a more relaxed team and so Jeremy seems to be OK with it.  I even think he enjoys watching, even though I don't think he would ever admit it.  Well, Hunter is now on his second year playing.  Today he had his third soccer game of the season.  They lost again, but they are getting better.  They held it together really good until the end.  The problem is there is only 8 on the team and so they never get to sub anyone.  They are constantly running the whole time.  By the end, they get pretty tired.  The other teams always have plenty of subs.  That is OK.  It looks like they are having fun and so that is what is important.  They are getting better.  Hunter had a hard game today though.  Twice he got hurt.  Once he took the ball hard right in the gut.  He likes to play defense better then offence.  I think it is because he doesn't have to run as much.  Until the next game.....
