Teams Fire and Portugal

The boys are playing soccer this spring and having a great time doing so!  William is playing on Team Fire and Thompson is on Team Portugal.  The over-arching goal is to have fun, and William reminds us of the three rules: have fun, be safe, no hands.  In William's league (3-4 year old), they practice for 20-25 minutes then play a 20 minute 4-on-4 game with no goalies on a small field with tiny goals.  And William has become quite the scorer, although they don't keep track of scores.  Thompson's league (9-10) practices one after noon a week with a 40-minute game on Saturdays.  In this age division, they play 6-on-6 plus goalies on a larger field with larger goals.  The highlight for this weekend's Team Portugal took their first win of the season yesterday with a 3-2 win over the team that beat them last week.
