Soccer Star

I can't believe I'm a 'Soccer Mum'. Athough I guess with Ben it was inevitable, but it feels weird. AND he scored 2 of the 3 goals for our team - the Charlestown United Hammers U6s. We drew 3 - 3 against Garden Suburb Hummingbirds last Saturday in our teams first game (a friendly). Our first practice was only the day before for 40 minutes and the first time we'd met any of the team including the coach. Rich and I sat the entire game thrilled that the players didn't all swarm around the ball in a huddle as we'd imagined they would. The coaches are allowed to coach on the field during the game. A real help. Some of the kids just plain sat down in the middle of the field. Or ran the wrong direction. Not that you can get much through to the kids. It's very confusing. Sorry. Our computer is having a meltdown at the thought of uploading all or our proud moments from the game. Stay posted for pics.
