The World Cup is in full swing, but here in our little corner of U12 we had our own Soccer Tournament. Wynken's team took first place during a very hot weekend; the boys played beautifully together - finally gelling as a team: dribbling, solid defense, and touch passes resulting in goals.
We only play house league, so we don't play with the elite teams, but the boys worked really hard to learn the game, and managed to beat some better teams. Our goal is to learn to work as a team and develop good sportsmanship in victory and defeat. Their final record was: 8-1-1 and undefeated in the tournament.
Wynken was so excited he said, "I'm going to treasure this for the rest of my life." I found his trophy by his bedside as he fell asleep tonight.
You know what? Go ahead and enjoy it, son.
