Carson's soccer and banquet

Soccer season is always a favorite for me.  I absolutely love watching my kids play.  This year Carson didn't get to do the rec league, they didn't have enough players.  He ended up playing in their "micro-academy".  There were a lot of really frustrating things about it but Carson had fun so that's what matters most.  They had a couple training days with all the kids together before assigning them teams.  Apparently his coaches were really excited to get Carson.  From the beginning of the season to the end of the season he was considered the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).  Honestly this kid kicked some serious butt.  He had one game, the first game, that he didn't score the majority of the goals, (that was the day he was coming down sick and we didn't realize).  After no goals the first game, he ended up with 33 goals the remaining 7 games.  He has an endless amount of energy and can out run and out last every other kid.  His coach, Savannah, would put him back as defense fairly regularly and the other team had a hard time getting past him.  Next year we're planning to play him up a year so he can start playing with goalies.  Pretty sure he'll end up a mid-fielder. 

The last games for all the teams were at the same time, at the football stadium.  They called all the kids' names and they got to run out onto the field before the games started.

Carson made some good friends last year playing soccer.  He ended up NOT being on a team with a single one of them.  We got them all together after the final game though.  Left to right is Madi, Carson (of course), Joey and Ty.

Here he is with his coaches, I honestly have no idea what the guy's name is, he was never really there.  Savannah was really the one that did all the work with him.  She was one of the only coaches in the whole "academy" that actually tried to teach the kids so he was pretty fortunate.
