Soccer tournaments

Yep, that’s right, tournaments, plural. Ansel’s started his soccer preseason with not one, but two tournaments. We put a lot of mileage on the car, but it was a lot of fun. 

Above is his team ready for their first game in the first tournament. They won that game and then over the next few days the next, and the next, and the next! They took first place! Ansel was very excited. 

Then they entered the next tournament. This one was tougher. The team had a win but some losses too. Ansel hustled. He used his speed. It was fun to watch. So much so that I only got one blurry photo. That’s Ansel in the white jersey by the ball. 

The other kids came to a game or two. They were busy doing this:

and this. 

Overall, Ansel had come goals and helped score others. He has a head for finding the pass. Plus, his team was working together very well. They have learned so much this summer. They should be better since they’ve been practicing three times a week. Whoa! Our new coach isn’t messing around.  Here’s to a fun fall season!
