Soccer Season 2009

Soccer Season is here! Max is on the Orange Team aka "The Tigers". Brian is one of the coaches this year as well. We have already had 3 practices and today was Max's 2nd game. Max is averaging 3 goals a game and can handle himself in goal as well. Max is showing some talent in this game. He is handling the ball very well. He is quick and is not afraid to get in there and get the ball. Max seems to enjoy himself. I would like to think that he would continue to play since he seems to have some natural talent, but I am not sure if he "loves" the game of soccer. However, he does have a very cute after goal celebration. I have tried to get a picture of it, but digital cameras are a bit slow to get that celebration. Max likes to score goals and have his team win. We try not to focus on the winning part, but everyone seems to keep score. I just want Max to have fun and learn how to play soccer. If soccer becomes something he wants to continue in we will provide the opportunities for him. If dad has his way, Max will love soccer and will play at least through High School. So I guess we enjoy the rest of season and see what happens next year. Here are some pictures of Max from today's game. Max is number 30 this year.
