little lightning bugs

pysl spring 2013 soccer season is officially over,

which means i said goodbye to my little 'lightning bugs' this past sunday.

oh how i'm going to miss them!

i actually didn't see scoutie play as much as i was hoping

because he was with the 5 year olds, our 'A' team, and most
games, i coached our 4 year olds, our 'B' team.  it seemed to work
better this way as scout tended to be a little more dramatic
when mom was on the field. he did much better with coach chris.    

 {from left bottom: madison, isaac, desmond, joe
anna, scout, lily, trevor and finn
coach angela and coach chris

it was a great season all around.
scoutie understands the game so much more now
{he no longer forgets what goal is his}.

because this is his third season playing,
he was actually one of our top players on the team
which did wonders his his confidence.
he also became a 'better loser',  though we still have some work to do.
as for his competitive spirit, it hasn't waned at all.
this kid gives it his all when he's on the field...he wants to win!

and here he is with his good buddy, finn.

these lil guys attend explorer together
{different kindergarten classes},
and will be back out on the soccer field this fall.

the fall season will very different for them.
since they will be turning 6 this summer,
they will be moving up to he under 8 {U8} league.
they will be the youngest players
playing with 6 and 7 year olds will be ALOT different
than playing with 4 and 5 year olds.
