Soccer Fan Update











Hello to all fans of the Sharks Soccer Team! I thought I'd share a photo that represents what soccer is really all about at the age of 4/5. I call it Snacks and Friends (or Friends and Snacks - not for sure which order is really should be in)!

It's a lot of fun seeing the kids so excited about game day because they get to see their friends, and I don't think a single one of them has missed asking at the end of the game (if not sooner) "who brought the snacks?" If I had one wish for all these young players it would be that they never forget that "the fun" is really what the game is all about.

Well, as I've posted before, it's not easy getting shots of these little guys and gals running around the field. It don't matter though, because I've got the memories in my head. This year what I'll remember is that somehow our team spent most of their time at their own goal (guess you all know that means we didn't score alot) and that goalie was the most prized position!

Speaking of goalie, check out my #3 in the last photo! He loves to be goalie. When I asked him why he just says "because it's fun!" However, notice in the photo that he is wearing his number on the front of his jersey. That's because he's decided that turning he shirt around on the soccer field is a must. When I asked him why he said "because I want everyone to know I'm number 3!"

This is the stuff memories are made of!
