More Spring Soccer

Jack played soccer this Spring also. This picture was the same game day as Bailey's and Jack was the co-captain too. I think they won the coin toss. Jack is almost always a forward. He is agressive beyond belief and is wherever the ball is. Scoring was tough this year. His team wasn't gelling well together and they lost most games.
He seems to have a definite aptitude for soccer. We are checking into special soccer clubs and practices. He needs some tough coaching and fine tuning of his skills.
Jack was so agressive that the other teams seemed to target him a bit. He (not OK) tends to put his shoulder into the other players as they run along beside him. Which causes the other team to push and trip him alot! You can see the other players hand on Jack's back. If he breaks away they almost always push him down. In this game he and number 20 had a battle all game. Jack is also the team drama king! He tends to end up on the ground so he makes the most of it and rolls and moans. Which also almost always gets him a free kick because the other team gets a penalty. In this pic he is running the ball with his best bud Clay. They had fun together.

Jack hates to come out of a game. He would play the whole game and has when they were short players. I have to say that I love to go to the kids soccer games. I love to watch Jack play so hard and Bailey get so excited.
