First soccer game





On Saturday Owen had his very first soccer game.. they lost 6-1! However this was their very first game... EVER!! Owen has been playing for 2 yrs now but never had a game..it was just practices once a week(that was the U-6 league). Now he is on the U-8 and they have practices 2x a week from 5:30-7:00 and Saturday morning games.. it's a big commitment for everyone is our house.Soccer nights mean rushing, that's all it is to it.. Hurry do your homework, hurry up do your chores, hurry up and cook dinner, hurry up and eat, hurry up and get your soccer gear on, turn off that t.v., hurry up and pack the diaper bag, then if we are lucky Jason will get home just in time to shower and walk out the door with us.. it's very chaotic and often very stressful! Owen loves the game so I don't see it ending anytime soon!! He is very good but needs to work on a few key things.. like passing the ball !!! He is a big ball hog! He played goalie for a short time on Saturday.. he blocked a lot of the shots but they opposing team was still able to score. It will be neat to watch how much his team progresses through the season. Thankfully the season ends in a month!!
