This was Skip's first season playing AYSO soccer. Let's just say he took it pretty seriously. He wanted to wear his uniform every single day and he was pretty serious about getting a good night's sleep the night before the game.
Despite this focus, the funny thing about Skip was that he had a big grin on his face the whole time he was playing. Other parents definitely commented on this, too. He was having a great time out there.
Because he just made the cut-off this year, he was a full year younger than some of the other boys. So he wasn't the best player on the team, but he definitely had good ball-handling skills, a good understanding of the game, and most importantly, a true joy about competing!
Kind of hard to tell from these photos, but you can sort of see a smile on his face. Zadie, I'm sorry we have no photos of you playing this season (or of Tori coaching you!), but it's only because there was a mom on Skip's team who sent me these photos! Sure wish I would have taken a picture of Coach Tori and her daughter.
