Soccer Update

Gracie's last game of the season was yesterday and they won! She is going to play basketball for the winter season so it will be another year before she plays anymore soccer.

Drew's team had their end of the season tournament and won the whole thing! They had two shut outs out of 4 games! They really played great and better than that, they totally bonded as a team.

Drew's coach has decided to coach competitive soccer, so Drew and many of the other boys will stay with him. We are thrilled because this coach and his two assistant coaches are outstanding! They are three young men who coach because they had some bad experiences with bad coaches growing up and they want to prevent that from happening to other kids. They are in their mid 20's and work fulltime in high tech. The coach's mom teaches elementary school at a local school - she is known for her positive attitude in the classroom and she passed that on to her son. They are amazing role models for the boys and are so enthusiastic. The boys are truly thriving under their leadership! We could not be happier.
