Both kids were thrilled to play soccer this year. 4 year old soccer barely looks like soccer and is mostly a free for all where kids kick the ball wherever they want and all 10 kids chase it down to kick it again. Forget passing. If a kid didn't like where the ball was going, they'd pick it up. Aaron was initially disappointed that he didn't get to blow the ref's whistle. Aaron loved throwing the ball in and tried to do it whenever he could.
Alex was a real trooper this year. He did his best in practice every time and showed up for this game in the rain. His team was so big that they divided into two teams for game day, but all practiced together.
Aaron's coach (far left) made sure they they had fun and played nice. The coaches at this level get to be on the field and provide direction - ("Kick it toward the goal. No, their goal!").
Alex wasn't the fastest kid on his team, but he was very tenacious on defense and rarely let the ball get past him.
Aaron loved to be in the game but was good about taking turns. When he was in, he'd always be going for the goal.
They were both very proud of their trophies.
But not so much their haircuts.
