Alex has been having an absolute blast on his soccer team this year. This is the 3rd year he’s been on the same team, with the same excellent coach, with a handful of them returning for the 3rd year as well. This year they have 4 kids on the field instead of just 3, with the additional player playing “sweeper-keeper” (aka goalie). Alex loves getting physical, has amazingly good foot skills, and the goalie is a fun position for the kids to all try out. I have a lot of sweeper-keeper pictures of him because he isn’t moving so fast that I can actually capture him!
He is so fun to watch out there on the playing field. He’s having fun and asking his coach when he can go back in. They play hard! When the soccer season starts in late August and early September – there have been some game days that have been ~88 degrees when they play. Hot! We haven’t hit the rainy weather yet, but we know it’s coming.
How Boys U8 “decompress” after games (dog-pile!). Of course, Alex is right in the middle of it all.
After a really hot game – he likes to douse his head with water and make a mohawk.
