Soccer...soccer...soccer!

The boys started soccer games this morning. It was so fun to watch them both learn the game.

Ryan plays U6 (4 & 5 year-olds), has a lavendar uniform, is #9 team name: purple dragons, plays 3-on-3, has 4 - 5min quarters.

.

Jack plays U8 (6 & 7 year-olds), has orange and black uniforms (w/white socks??), is #10, team name: speeding bullets (parents liked smashing pumpkins or flaming balls - but thought inappropriate for the team banner :-) ), plays 6-on-6 with longer quarters and half time.

Both boys really enjoy it and run a lot! This morning Jack scored a goal - although Grandpa described it as Jack dragged the opposing team (who had the ball) through the goal post. And, Ryan had an assist to the one goal his team scored! Both boys are the tallest on their team - and therefore got the biggest uniforms - if you're wondering why they look so big! The weather was great - overcast w/sprinkles...reminded us a little of Oregon soccer!
