Hooray for Soccer

This will be my last soccer post for a while - promise :)  The last game was last week and the team had a party at PPP afterward.  The boys had the best soccer coach.  He didn't even have a kid on the team and he did such a great job of giving the boys some skills and primarily helping them to learn to enjoy the sport together.  Davis loved all the different game style drills at practice.  At the award ceremony they received a trophy but he also made special certificates for each kid, with a team nickname and their best attribute on the field.  I know each kid felt special and each of the awards was so appropriate.

One funny (somewhat soccer related) story:  After one of the games in the car . . . 

D:  "Great news Mom, I think Coach Travis knows God"

Me:  "You do, Why do you think that?"

D:  "Well, he was talking about Him."

Me: "Oh, (in my head, hmmmmm) what did he say?"

D:  "He said, God made dirt and dirt is okay" - pretty sure that is D's version of the cliche "dirt don't hurt" :)

I tried not to laugh!

Davis was so proud of his trophy.  His award says:  Davis "Mr. Competitive" (hmmm, yet appropriate) and his award was for "most coachable player" - I'm very proud!  Coach Travis said that when they would tell Davis to do something on the field he would always do it.  

All three boys with their awards . . . great season!  Come on Johnsons, play in the spring :)
