Backyard Soccer

Spring season of Billy’s AYSO soccer started and ended.  Sadly the last game of the season was rained out.

The most sad part was that Billy had finally gotten it.  He finally was getting into the game and the competitiveness of it.  He played 8 games last fall and it was the 5th game this spring when something changed.  Billy was aggressive and fought for the ball and scored a goal based more on trying rather than just being in the right place at the right time.

It was fun to see that change in him and that confidence.  That doesn’t mean we’ll be signing up for soccer again next season, but it was still fun to see.

Instead, we’ll do a few more backyard soccer games.  Those are almost as fun.  Especially if I provide treats afterwards.
