Mustangs Soccer

Camden continues to enjoy soccer so much. He had another great season. There were about 5 boys from OLG on his team which makes it that much more fun. His team really played well together and lost only 1 game this season and won their pool in the tournament. The biggest change this season is playing on the bigger field with bigger goals and goalies...it is a big change for this age because the field is so much bigger than what they were use to playing on.

He is so competitive and really wants to help his team in whatever way he can to get a win.

He works hard all the time.

Trying to keep it in play. This was a tournament game and we ended up winning 1-0!

Charging down the field.

In deep concentration.

This little girl didn't know what she was in for when she stepped so close to the field. She literally about got ran over by 3 players. One being Camden.

Camden was one of 4 chosen from his team to be on the All-Star Team. This was the black team.  (Camden is 3rd from the left waving).

Corner kick!

Sam and Camden...his friend from school and his soccer team!

Carson's Soccer Recap

Well it seems that soccer takes up most of our time in the spring and fall. I have grown to love soccer. It is such a good sport to play in so many ways. It teaches teamwork, agility, cardio, and it's fun. Both boys improved so much just from spring soccer and had great coaches this year. Carson is getting more aggressive out there. He is the youngest on the field, but held his own very well.

GOOOAL!!!!

He is usually one of the fastest on the field (when he wants to be).

Having lots of fun! That is probably the best way to describe Carson. Always out there to have fun. He doesn't care too much if he wins or not, he just wants to be with his friends.

A low five after scoring his 5th goal of the game!

Finally getting him to get in the mix a little and get the ball.

One more season (spring) and then he moves up to the big fields.

Bruins Football

Alright, now that we are in between seasons for sports, we have a little breather and I have time to actually sit down and blog a little about our busy fall with football and soccer. This was the boys' first experience playing flag football. They had so much fun and learned a lot (thanks to a great coach). It is cute to see Camden watching college and NFL football now and actually point out some of the plays and talk football lingo. Also about half of their team was from OLG, which added to the fun they had playing.

This was their "mean" football face before their first game!

Carson off and running. He was the youngest on the team, and was a late add-on when there weren't enough players to practice at one of the practices before the games started. It was a great learning experience for him and he is looking forward to playing 2 more years in the K/1 league.

Now I understand why there are so many coaches standing on the sidelines of the football field. It really does take a lot of coaches to organize a football team, and is even more important for the little ones. Chris helped out this year and I think it is safe to say he learned just as much as the boys.

Camden running in for a touchdown!  Next year he moves up to tackle (not sure how I feel about that)!
