Carson's Soccer Season

One post for the entire season!  Carson started out being played as a defender a lot.  He and his friend Ty made an outstanding defensive team.  Our team desperately needed more offensive players, and with his playing last year, Daddy was able to get him moved to midfield.  He took to the position really well.  He was aggressive and worked his tail off.  This boy can RUN.  He goes and goes and goes, often keeping up with boys older than him.  His team only won one game, tied two and lost seven.  The rest were losses.  Most of that was because they didn't have enough kids for an under 8 team so they ALL got played up to under 9.  Carson and Ty played up on purpose, the others did not and you could tell.  Carson was a good solid player and almost always got himself just exactly where he needed to be.  He really improved his ball control, started to recognize where the ball needed to be and passed it there.  He only had one goal but he was normally the one setting other kids up. He took complete control of his side line.  It was a frustrating season to watch because our kids were so tiny compared to the other teams, there would be a good 12 inch height difference for most of the games.  I'm really looking forward to next year when he will be playing his age group again.  We just really wanted him to have seven on the field and he really needed it to keep advancing as a player.
