DZ Soccer
Donovan had his first soccer game of the season in March! He had fun and in the car after he said he wants to practice kicking with his left foot! So glad he’s excited to play! Eric is coaching and he had fun too. There was a lot of debate about whether he wanted to go back to baseball or change to soccer. After we confirmed that no one from his old baseball team was still available after a few years off, he admitted he’d really rather play soccer! His new team is named the Dragons though! Because the soccer people asked me for a name when Eric agreed to coach and that’s what came out. The boys made it their own though. Eric had them vote and they decided they wanted to be the Ice Dragons. Their uniforms are blue for away games, and red for home games. (even though they are all on the same field) Then on the first game where we were the home team a boy suggested, we should be Fire Dragons today! Eric loved it and so did the rest of the team! Such a fun group of kids, it was a great season! Donovan got to play with his friend Nathan from school too which was a great surprise. Maia loved getting to play on the sidelines with Nathan’s sister Leah, who’s in her class.
Carson was the assistant coach at all the practices! Sooo fun!
Papa came to lots of games!
It was a busy soccer week! Game Tuesday, practice Friday, game Saturday, and another game tonight! On Saturday, DZ scored our only goal!!! And tonight the other side kept yelling, “watch out for 30!!! He’s having so much fun. Also, love their hair.
The team improved so much in a short time! It was really neat to see Eric teach them a play at practice and see them actually use it in a game!
