=    Soccer Season!

This year I coached Sport's soccer team.  This picture is very indicative of my coaching style.

Sport was one of the smallest players on the field, but oh so aggressive.

Like really, really aggressive.  He scored tons of goals and ran down many a larger player.

Maybe a little too aggressive. See the kid falling here? Sport is stepping on the back of his foot and may have shoved him in the back.  Its his own team mate.  The kid literally broke his femur.  I heard it pop.  I can still hear it pop.  It was accident.  I think.  Still, I don't cross Sport.

Spectators. 

Colt also had a great season.  He was one of the younger kids on his team this year, but he held his own!

Charging the ball.  The other kid in this picture looked so much like Colt out on the field.  Little redheads.  He got a lot of cheering from our family.

About to score a goal!

When Sport wasn't playing he often volunteered to take Sis over to the playground.

I'm a broken record, but Dash had a great season also.  We generally do, which is good, because we invest plenty of time.
Here he is saving a goal.

Dribbling past the competition.

Starting to break away.

Goals!
