Cavin's Fall Soccer Season 2016

Cavin began playing soccer when he was 5 and has been with the same team for 6 seasons now. He has loved playing with many of the same boys, and I have loved watching how much they have progressed in the past few years. Today was the U9 tournament. The boys played hard!

The first game was at 9:00 and they won 3-0 against Salazar. Next they played at 12:00 and won 3-1 against Alamia. They fought hard and it was hot outside. Finally they made it to the Championship game and played the Aquino team. They were ahead almost the whole game and then the other team tied at the end. The tie put them in a shootout.

Here is Cavin getting ready for his turn. He had a good shot, but it was blocked. Several other blocks and they ended up losing the game. The poor boys started crying, they were devastated, but they played really hard. I was so proud of them!

There team name was Iron Strikers. Coach Roland was the head coach and Ragnar was his assistant coach. Cavin loved having one on one time with Ragnar while going to practices together and doing something they both really enjoy.

They felt a little better knowing that only first and second place got trophies. 

Cavin is definitely motivated by a trophy!

I wanted to add Cavin's official season photos. 

We went to Culvers after the game to celebrate a great season! Ragnar unfortunately had to go to work, but we tried to enjoy ourselves nonetheless. We sure love Cavin and his hard work on the soccer field!
