Sept/Oct 2009 soccer season

Austin started playing soccer with the Lexington Youth Soccer Association (LYSA)on a U14 team. The level of competition was a big step for Austin. Austin was the youngest on the team, and he was a bit shy and self conscious since he didn't know anyone on the team and some of the kids were very good. He did very well. He is not an all-star, but he had a good season and had a bunch of good attempts on the goal. I believe he became a much better soccer player this fall season.

Waveney had another great season playing for the Wizards 8/9 year olds for the YMCA.  They went undefeated for the season.  The only game that gave them trouble was the last game of the season.  Waveney actually got  to score several times throughout the season.  I'm glad she had a great season.  Next spring she moves up to the 10/11 year old team and it will be much more difficult for her to score.

Grace is an awesome soccer player and a complete pleasure to watch. The way she can move and control the ball is amazing. It was quite an honor to be the Mom of such a magnificent player.  A few times coaches from the other team commented on how amazing she was. For most of the season I had her play goalie one quarter and play forward for 2 quarters she scores goals in every game, the most was 6 in one game! Yes, 6 goals!!!!! She is amazing!  Grace is on the Generals 6/7 year olds at the YMCA.  What I like most about this team is that we had 7/10 kids score during the season.  As a coach it is amazing that so many kids can score!
