Success with soccer so far

We signed both Zach and Calyn up for Upward soccer. Calyn was very eager since her cousin, Ashley, plays. Zach was not eager but did not want his sister to have fun without him.

It turns out that Zach is actually pretty good. We have had two games and three practices. Zach appears to really understand the concept and does not mind being aggressive. Surprising! Calyn is also doing well but tends to hang back until she 'remembers' to get into the action. Or hears her mom and dad yelling at her from the sidelines.

The requirement is that the players had to be 4 by September 1 but Zach and Calyn are likely the oldest. They definitely tower over the other players. I have been very impressed with the program so far and would recommend it to anyone wanting to expose a younger player to soccer. The neat part is that they have a short devotional at each practice and are responsible for memorizing a Bible verse each week.

A couple of you have expressed interest in seeing them play, so I am including their schedule.
