The Never Ending Soccer Tourney








It was simple enough. We enroll our boys in soccer for fun and merriment...then comes the tournament. It lasted forever. However, Max's coach, Coach Mark, is the bomb and we will be stalking him next year to ensure that he is coaching the kids again. The boys had 3 games back to back on Friday night and please be advised....it is hard enough to get 3 and 4 years olds to engage in ONE game a night, but 3 in a row? With 10 minute breaks? Holy. But he perserveered! Max even scored a goal, so what if it was on his own net? It's still a goal. Max was super proud because he received two medals, one from coach and one from the organization. We had some hot dogs and veggies between games and all the parents brought something for the kids to snack on. It was true teamwork!


We met some really great people, like Cade standing behind Max being airplanes on the sidelines waiting for Coach Mark to call them in.






There is a picture of Max and his whole team. Soccer was truly a love/hate relationship for Max. He wanted to do it because his big brother played soccer, but when we got there, it was a struggle to get him to pay attention or even stay on the field. Mostly he would shoot out Spider Man webs at us and go the opposite way the rest of the team was heading. You gotta love him.
That's Coach Mark helping my Max along! Thank you Coach Mark for an amazing season! See you next year....are you ready????
