He is on a team of 4 and 5 year old boys called the Strikers. The boys on Joshua's team are all full of energy and all seem to enjoy being on the field to play. They play four ten minute quarters with a water break between each quarter. Depending on the number of players there are anywhere between three and four players on the field at a time (two fields going at a time, so they get to play most all the time). The field is just under half the distance of a normal soccer field.
Joshua (#5) played with Wilson, Raphael, and Nicholas (the rest of his team played on another field). Let me just tell you that it was HOT outside and these boys never stopped. Our team scored 14 points and Joshua made 10 of those (he would have scored more, but he kicked aobut 5 goals wide). He had no problem going after the ball, which surprised Jeff and I both. This sport just seems to fit him...today!
Guess what we did when we got home...play soccer!
Good job Joshua! Way to get in there and play hard.
FYI, I did put Joshua's socks on today...I did it wrong according the Jeff. Joshua is not wearing tights, I just did not roll his socks down enough. Live and learn!

He looks so cute!
Glad to hear he enjoys it. Christopher loved soccer when he was little....well, as long as he was the one with the ball.
