Soccer Season 2010

Both Hayden and Brynley were super excited for soccer to begin this year. It would be Bryn's first season and Hayden's 4th after taking a few years off. It was evident from the first game that Bryn's first season would turn out a lot better than Hayden's first three seasons. She actually hustled and kicked the ball and even made quite a few goals! We won't remind Hayden about how he spent his first three seasons chasing butterflies, playing in the weeds and falling down while the rest of the kids actually played the game!

Brynley's team was so cute and we just loved her coach.

Brynley loved playing with her cute friend Hannah (next to Brynley on the far right)

Brynley had a lot of promise in the beginning of the season but she seemed to get bored after about the 5th game and decided it was more fun to sit on the side and eat snacks or play with mom's phone! We will see if she decides to play again next year - I hope she does because she was really good!

Hayden played this year on a team that seemed to have a lot of experience compared to him! We were a little nervous that he wouldn't fit in and that he might have a hard time. It turned out that Hayden was the fastest kid on the team - he'd be from one end of the field to the next in a matter of seconds - it didn't matter that it was over 100 degrees almost the whole season!

Hayden had an amazing coach who knows and loves the game - we hope to continue on with the same coach and team for as long as possible.
Hayden decided to play goalie this year as well. He played at least one or two quarters in each game. I was terrified the whole time just thinking about him with his glasses being kicked in the face!
Hayden was pretty fearless and did a great job! He needs to work on his drop kicks (they sometimes went straight up instead of in front of him)


We are so proud of how hard Hayden tried and worked this season. He is going to play again in the Spring and we look forward to watching him grow in his soccer skills!
