Soccer tryouts

Drew is trying out for his schools soccer team. Yesterday was the first tryout. He goes again today, Monday and Tuesday. The begin cutting players on Monday. There are at least 60 kids trying out and they only need a max of 20.

Drew's strategy is good - he is trying out for goalie. He said there is no one with goalie experience, so he thought he would try out for that position. He has played goalie on a comp team so he has the most experience (that we know of).

The only thing is he has spent the last year playing mid field and back up goalie - so he may be a little rusty.

Anyway, keep your fingers crossed. There looked to be a bunch of good players out there.

Also, when he had his sports physical he weighed in at 140 and was 5 feet 6 1/2 inches tall. And the doc said he has not yet started his growth spurt where boys grow 4 inches in a year! My thought was that he grows 4 inches in a regular year - what is the growth spurt year going to be like! And he thinks his size 11 feet will get bigger! I need a part time job in order to afford to feed him.
