{Wordless Wednesday} My Soccer Boy

Last weekend was the kick off for the soccer league my son is in. This is a harder league so the town leagues don’t kick off for several more weeks. Gavin can’t wait to start playing too.

Johnny loves the sport and actually spent much of the summer in some extensive soccer camps. Sunday’s game he was able to play goalie during a game since they were killing the other team 6-0. He rocked at it even though he’s more the front line guy.

He was never afraid when he was surrounded and knew just when to get in there.

He blocked EVERY ball that came his way.

He’s an awesome kicker and nailed each one across the field to the other teams side.

  1. He’s got skills! And Jennifer, he looks so tall!

  2. I used to love playing soccer, especially goalie when I was younger. My preschooler can’t wait until soccer starts in a couple weeks, he played last season and loved it.

  3. He does look tall! Very impressive that he blocked all the shots he face. Way to go!

  4. He looks so grown-up! He’s gonna have all the girls in high school! πŸ˜‰ (That was always my favorite sport to watch!! LOL!)

    I hope he has a great season… he is looking so old!!!!

  9. I remember when I played soccer back in the day; probably around his age actually! I really did love it and I’m glad he found something he is passionate about πŸ™‚

    Plus it’s exercise, so two birds with one stone!

  10. He looks great with all his gear on. Way to go!

  11. He looks so grown up in that first picture!

  14. These are great shots of the game! Good for him!

  15. He looks like a superstar!! Wow. Has he always been so fearless?

      Actually no. He use to have a fear of the ball. Now he rocks it!

  16. Lolo says

    He looks like a pro!!

  17. Jenny says

    That’s great!!

  18. So fun! I bet Gavin loves going to his games and watching.

    • Jennifer says

      He hates going lol. Complains the whole time. Luckily a lot of the places we go there are playgrounds. The games are around 2 hours long.

      • LOL I guess he’d rather be *playing* than watching. Not surprising. πŸ˜‰

  19. Mimi says

    What a great sport. He definitely looks like he enjoys playing. I wish our schools offered it here. My grandson plays football and he love it.

    How exciting! Being from England, Soccer is huge in my husband’s family and he was a Keeper – I wonder if any of our kids will be interested in soccer.
