Soccer




Corbin is in his second season of soccer! He is #10 on team Lightning! He really loves it...his favorite part about soccer he says, "I can run really fast!" There will be times that he is running really fast and running away from the ball. Oh but he loves it. He is a good little player. Corbin always listens to the coaches (two of our good friends) and is a good sport and cheers for his teammates.

The first season he scored a goal for the other team! We still celebrated it and said great goal...but after the game he said, "I know that was the other teams goal...so I am not counting that one!" All the boys are cute to watch they run around and then it is like a light bulb goes on in their head, "Oh yeah, we are playing a soccer game"...and then they will do something amazing! The first season Corbin was the only one on the team that had not scored a goal (for us)....so even though we tell the boys soccer is about teamwork, having fun...lalalala...the coaches made it their mission to get Corbin a goal. So they kept him out there the whole time and told him to stand in front of the goal and then had the other players keep passing it to Corbin. Right before the end of the game Corbin had a great goal! It was so fun and he was so proud.


They have grown sooo much this season, it is amazing. They got a taste and they are now a good little team. Corbin has 2 goals this season and he always says, "Now I have 3" He is keeping track. The team also keeps track who is winning. We never take score, but the boys know! :) The coaches have talked about how the other team will be about to score and then here comes Corbin from nowhere and he kicks the ball away. He loves to do that. It has been such good experience for him. He plays with his two good friends Alex and Ryan, but has really enjoyed all the boys. It is what we do on Thurs. nights (practice) and Saturdays (games).
