Soccer Dad

Got to see to soccer games today. It appears that my 5 year old is starting to focus a little better on the game. I'd love to work with him more. Alas, the weather hasn't been cooperating.
My (nearly) 10 year old was a real relevation in his game. He goaltended perfectly for the whole time he was goalie. (His team lost anyway.) In one spectacular save he smothered a ball as two opponents were getting ready to kick it. That took guts.
After he hurt his hand he still had a good game doing other stuff. Once he fed a ball to a teammate. If the teammate had handled it, it would have been a goal. In general he was very good at stopping the forward progress of his opponents. Once he came out of nowhere and blocked a shot on goal. What a game.
