Jacob played his final year on an U6 (under 6) team this year. Our team was much smaller - last year we had 12 players - and everyone typically played 1/2 a game. This year we had 9 - and often 1 or more kids were absent - meaning most of the kids played the entire game. Jacob did better this year - was more interested in playing - but still got distracted often.
Here he is taking a much needed water break.
Levi just being cute - watching his brother. Levi was able to practice a few times with the team - and he was all in the middle of it. He will be ready to play on his own team next year.
Jacob loved playing goalie. We are not quite sure if he liked the position - or just the fact that he didn't have to run up and down the field!
At attention ready for the ball. His teammate Collin was great - one of the younger ones on the team - but you can definitely tell he will be good as he gets older.
Making a goal kick after a save as goalie.
Another goal kick in action.
Waiting for the action to come his way.
The team waiting for a kick off - Jacob is on the right.
Jacob in the middle of the action - with the ball. This didn't happen very often - so excited when he actually engaged and had fun with it.
Mr. Goalie with his batman cap.
Kicking off the ball - great action shot.
How cute is this - Jacob is number 5 next to his friend Joshua. We are not sure Jacob is destined for team sports - but we are going to try t-ball/baseball this year too. It is great experience to be a part of a team - and want to continue to encourage him in different areas to help him find his niche.
