So here Zachary is playing the game, or I should say standing in the game. I do not know whose idea it was to put him a goalie, but besides this position and defensive, these are the only positions he wishes to play (a.k.a I do not want to run, but just kick the ball). You will hear consistently during the game, "Come Zachary go after the ball!", "Zachary when you are on offense that means you follow the ball to the goal, not stand at the half way mark (this is me yelling this), and "Zachary get the ball."
Even though I know he does not want to run and would rather just stand and kick the ball, but unfortunately you cannot just have the same position all the time every game. So back to today's game. He did a GREAT job. He has a great kick and did really good defending the goal. He really enjoys who is plays with and mom is happy that soccer is not even 5 minutes from the house.
As each practice and game happens, I am glad that I put my concerns aside and allowed him to play. I know soccer is going to be a recurring sport for him and I am happy that he enjoys it so much. He has a goal of wanting to play on the Fire team, which is the competitive game and it costs A LOT of money to play on that team. They keep score, their coaches are ones that have played professionally or some form of it, and it is a year round commitment. For mom, this is a LLLOOOONNNGGG term goal (LOL!).
Zachary was also disappointed because he wanted to play one of friends (he is on the other team). He was a little down, but when I told him that the coaches were going to re-schedule the game and that we also were going to play N's team as our last game of the season, he became psyched. I hope that he just wants to play his friend and not play and win, and then constantly rub it in!!!!
