Fall Soccer

Henry is playing soccer this fall with some fellow Capitol Hill students. Although it is not officially through the school I think all but one or two of his teammates attend Capitol Hill. They are divided up by age, so they are all first graders. He played this past spring as well, but this is a whole different experience. Last year it was "kick and chase" and they practiced and played a "game" (which was really just a scrimmage against each other) all during one, one hour session. Now they have two, one hour practices during the week and a real game on Saturdays. So far they have had two games and Henry is LOVING it. I was a little concerned that two practices a week plus school would be too much for him but he so looks forward to going to practice each week and so far has not wanted to miss a single one. I think going to the Timbers soccer camp this summer really helped him develop his skills and gain confidence.

That's Henry there in the middle at his very first game.

Taking a breather.
