Saturday was Jakey's first soccer game. Tyler and I are happy to have him in a sport now where our family can all turn out to support him after several years of him supporting his older brother and sister at so many of their events. A new legacy has begun... number 9, Jake Hillstead. His team is the tigers.
It was the most windy day we've had here in a long time! The kids were darling, playing "bunch ball" at its best. Coaches started with four on the team and by the end of the half hour game all players from both teams had found their way onto the field.
Parents and coaches alike made sure that every child had a chance to score a goal or two or ten. With a field that was 20 feet by 40 feet they were scoring every 30 seconds. Whoo.... Whooo.. .. Yeah... parent cheering got pretty funny!
Jake took it upon himself to keep score despite the no-score rule. He would look at us and hold his fingers up each time his team or the other scored. It was adorable.
He understands the game well and scored three goals! When he wasn't distracted by the corner flags blowing in the wind he also played great defense! He was cute and we were proud parents.
