Should You Really Call That A Soccer Game?

Nathan's last soccer game (If you can call it that) was interesting to say the least! He apparently was just not into it as much this week or was maybe he was just tired. I don't know! Either way his whole team was in rare form! Some were fighting with each other over the score, that by the way no one keeps! It's just part of the rules, everyone is a winner! Some were sobbing on the side lines for reasons they weren't really even sure of! While others just randomly sat down in the middle of field and watched their team play around them! And by others I mean NATHAN! I kept waiting for the moment when the toe of someones shoe would meet his face! But every time he somehow manged to make it off the field with his nose, teeth, and glasses still attached! Miracle I know! It was so bad that the coaches talked about calling the game! No one was awarded any stars for performance because the coaches, as patient as they are were spent! It was really bad and that's all I have to say about that!

THE BEARS!

Nathans second soccer game was this past Saturday!

He did a great job this game! He even had a great steal and a really good attempt at a goal. He is starting to get the hang of the game and seems to be catching onto the rules now. But above all he is really having a good time. He enjoys soccer and it shows! His coaches are very good at encouraging the team and put most of their focus on positive reinforcement! His team has 7 players and 4 coaches so it is really easy for all the boys to get what they need. Nathan has been given the nickname "NATE THE GREAT" by his coaches! Which he LOVES! He told me that instead of Nathan Jarrett his new name is Nate The Great! Don't misread that, Nathan's the slowest mover on the team. He just can't seem to get his legs up while running. Which results in him spending a lot of time picking himself up off the ground! (LOL) But he has had his moments where he shines and if he's proud....Were proud!

Every week each player has a opportunity to earn a star during the game. Last weeks game he earned a white star for Christ -likeness.

This week he earned a yellow star for sportsmanship check back next week to see what star he earned and for more pictures of course! If you'd like to see all the action grab a lawn chair and join us!
