JVC Soccer Dude


The Ballard Beavers JVC soccer team just completed a very successful season going 8-1-2. It's the first Freshman soccer team they have had in 40 years if Tucker is to be believed (sometimes is information can be a little suspect). Perhaps it's best to say it's the first on in a long time. Tucker played defense all season long and apparently did an excellent job according to one of the dad's who's a coach himself. Personally I'm still trying to figure out what constitutes being offsides. It's all very confusing. This is from the 2nd to the last game of the season (and the 1st one I remembered to bring the camera). It was a rainy, cold day so the boys got a little chilly. It as been a great experience for Tucker but it will make returning to his not so excellently coached rec league team a bit hard. We are quite proud of him for trying out and being determined to make the team despite skepticism on the part of his parents that it might be possible. Yes, I admit we were trying to prepare him for not making the team. We'll see what happens next year. Lest you are wondering about milestones in the other boys lives, Spencer has two musical performances coming up which will be featured soon--a broadway musical and a piano recital. Cooper has started "little league" machine pitch baseball with the Boys N Girls club so I will be sharing some highlights of him as well. He is quite the little hitter I must say.

Ahh the days of going to kids sporting events...Nope, don't really miss em! Miss the kids, not the watching on the sidelines. Guess I AM getting old! Looks like he's doing well. Glad they're all finding something that meets their interests.
