Trent's season ended a couple weeks ago. His team celebrated with giant soccer cookies for each kid. (Coach Stacy sure knows the way to Trent's heart!) Trent's season could be labeled "A Tale of Two Trents." At practice it was Super Star Trent and at the games, Space Cadet Trent would show up. The difference between the two Trents was astonishing. At practice it was clear Trent knew the object of the game. He was aggressive, going after the ball. He was focus and driven. At the games, he ran in circles aimless. He rarely went after the ball, and often took a seat in the middle of the field. Trent even took himself out of many games and refused to go back in. We had to use the after game snacks to bribe him to play. Through all his antics, Trent had a smile on his face and was enjoying the season thoroughly, even from the sidelines. And in that sense, the season was a complete success! Trent had wonderful coaches, Stacy and Barb, who were both fun & patient. Trent enjoyed his teammates and made new friends. A great season Tigers!
Corbin's season ended Saturday with their last game and the end of the season party. And the Super Thunder Cats sure had a lot to celebrate! This was the boys second season together and seeing the growth from last year was incredible. Coach Jamie & Coach Maria are the most wonderful coaches. They have taught the boys so much about soccer, teamwork, friendship and sportsmanship. This year was fun to see the team passing, running designed plays, and getting back on defense. After most games, Corbin would tell me "you know what my favorite part of soccer is? that it is fun!"
So the Fall 2009 Soccer Season is over and in the books. Although neither Trent nor Corbin's team keeps score so the records books are a little empty, but the memories will last a long time!
