Our First Trifecta!

 

Our boys just finished their second soccer season.  We had a very young team this fall, with their whole team being only 4.  Despite this challenge, they had a blast and won about as many games as they lost.  They also learned more about the sport and what it means to be a team player.  

 

Every Saturday during the season the boys had a different audience.  Rick and Elaine came up for their first game (when Craig and I were in Boston :-)), both sets of grandparents made it to least one game, but the luckiest audience by far the C family, who witnessed our first "TRIFECTA".  All three boys scored at least one goal during the same game, which was Connor's first goal ever!  Very exciting last game of the season!!!

 

As if the C family isn't busy enough with their own games, they came out for the boys last game of the season.  And they definitely brought Liam, Aidan & Connor good luck, with all three scoring in the same game!

Way to go Aidan!!!

Towards the end of the game our team was winning by so much Coach Craig benched Liam for not passing the ball and the only team member who was on offence was Aidan.  Worth mentioning, their poor opponents had their 4 previous practices cancelled due to the weather, which makes a big difference when the kids are so new to the game.

 

Awards assembly!

Liam was the top scorer on his team, and most aggressive as well!

Aidan definitely improved the most from the first game of the first season to the last game of this season.  When he remembered to go after the ball he had the skills to get it and do something with it! 

Connor was the number one team motivator, both on and off the field.  He always had a high five to give when a teammate scored a goal and also felt comfortable telling the other team to not go after the ball when he wanted to kick it, which is adorable for a preschool league (but something we will have to eliminate in the very near future :-)).  



Very proud Coach Daddy with his THREE goal scoring boys!
