...you can find us at the soccer fields, sometime between 8:00am and 3:00pm. We decided to do the "expensive" soccer this year. It's not cheap to do AYSO, but the season is long (from the end of August to the end of November), they get a real jersey, and standard pictures are included in the price.
Jared is in U-6 and his team is the Green Dragons. He seems to enjoy playing and does well when he's paying attention. Sometimes he's in his own little world or more interested in goofing off with his teammates. His coach handles them really well and asks each of them to tell something they learned after every practice and game.
Nathan is in U-8 (which is just 7 year olds since they had so many teams - there is also U-7 this year) and his team is the Blue Jets. Nathan has really improved this year and is always really focused and aggressive. He likes to play defense and also likes to play goalie. He hasn't had much practice as goalie, but he's good with his hands and can punt it well. He needs more experience knowing when to come out and get the ball and when to stay back in the goal. It's really fun to watch him play. His coach is pretty competitive, but seems to also handle these boys well.
They have one practice a week, and they couldn't be more convenient. They practice at the same time at the same place, and we can walk there. We're enjoying it!
Here are a few videos - not very good quality, but just a little peek at what it's like to watch them play. Enjoy the pack ball soccer... go U6! :)

Been there- done that!!!:) Just wait until you have all 4 playing.
I was about to say, "I bet your parents are having flashbacks," and then I read your mom's comment above. Yea, guess I was right!! :)
haha...why is the ref checking his smartphone instead of the game?
Jared was actually doing a really good job staying behind the pack and waiting for the ball to pop out. I wonder who taught him that? Might have been his mom, I'll bet.
I can never get over how fast the boys are growing up. I just hope we can cherish all the moments with our little boys before they grow up and have their own lives.
