Where is everybody? There were only three kids who showed up for the game today!
It's a three day weekend with the teacher workday and right before a holiday....maybe they all went out of town?
The other team was small. They only had seven kids. They loaned us one kid each half and we played a four-on-four match.
For the first time, we were clearly better than the other team. Largely, it was because of Anthony. Shane, Nels, and our loaners helped. Shane's discovered his "Rocket Cut." He likes to throw the ball in hard, far, and with a charge up and sound effects. He did manage one beautiful toss over everyone towards the goal. Nels (or was it the loaner, Leif?) turned around and tapped the ball the rest of the way into the goal.
Two things for Shane to work on: 1) Not standing still after he kicks the ball (he likes to watch where it goes) and 2) Pay attention to the ball! Shane was turned around and making sounds effects and what not to everyone and he got hit in the back of the head by a throw-in. Maybe that drove the point home!
I felt a little bad for the coaches. They'd bought two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for the kids and then no one was there. Shane and I helped by eating one each! Nels' family brought popsicles for snack, so the kids all got to leave sugared up.
