Soccer with the first graders

This past weekend the team was short 2 players that usually play on the first grade team. We had asked Bryce earlier in the week if he wanted to play up. At first he said no and then after a little coaxing we were able to get him to agree. The day of the game was a different story. He was once again unsure of it. Eric reminded him that he practices with them all the time and he does fine. So he said ok. When the game started he was a little hesitant but then he got more comfortable. He was able to keep up and at the end of the game he had 2 goals and wants to play there next week. We told him that only if they are short players would he be allowed to play up. I will admot that he was the smallest one out there ( not hard for him though). You can defiently tell a difference in the speed and strength a year makes though. All in all it was a good experience. Mimi and Grumum came to watch him this week and he was so excited to have both of them there!!!
