Cash got really lucky a couple of years ago when he was placed on his first soccer team. There is a core group of boys who stuck together for years on the same team. This year they decided to move up from Rec to Jr. Academy.
They were all able to stick together plus two other boys and Coach Aitor joined their team. It was certainly different from Rec, the coaching was much different, the competition more intense, they played with goal keepers and the games were all over the city. The season started off incredibly rocky with all of the rain we had, but they made the most of it. Some of the games were moved into an indoor soccer field, a lot were rained out, and some were incredibly muddy!
And at the end of the season, they had some super cold practices! They practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Westcreek. Cash's buddy, Ronin, from school was in in Jr. Academy, but on a different team so we got to see him at practice.
Cash had a pretty good season. Not everyone had a great feeling about the coaching, as it was very different than we were all used to. But all in all, I think Cash had a good season. I am hoping they are able to build off of the fall season and continue to grow in the spring. They ended the season with a big tournament in Round Rock. It was a tough fight but they came out on top with a 2-1 win and won the division for their age bracket. I am not sure I have ever yelled so much at a kids soccer game.
Here are a few highlights from the season....
....and the sweet soccer siblings!
