Griffen is now in his 3rd season of soccer and it has bee very exciting to watch the tremendous growth from when he started at age 3!
As I watch him play I notice that he has taken some of the skills he has learned to heart. He now dribbles the ball fairly well and has become much better at passing. As a whole this age group has moved on from the "beehive" strategy of playing soccer where everyone groups together and chases the ball around the field. Now they realize that they need to spread out and pass the ball if they want to score a goal.
The score is also something that Griffen and his teammates has recognized this year. The teams and the league don't keep score but the kids sure do! They are well aware when the opposing team has scored more goals than them. Griffen even made a comment that his team had lost. I tried really hard to cheer him on and let him know that right now we are just playing for fun and not to worry about who wins.
This is going to be a great season and I can't wait to see how Griffen progresses this year!
