Or shall I say....FREEZING SOCCER! Yes, it's that time of year again, where we spend many hours at the field bundled up in blankets as we support Blake and his LOVE for soccer. Steve and his friend, James have coached this same group of boy's the past several years and love the game of soccer as much as they do.
Tonight's game was sooooo cold! Definitely a switch from the near 80% temperatures we had here just a couple weeks ago. Not to mention, tonight there is a chance of SNOW in the mountains and tomorrows high will be around 50%. BURRR! I'm not sure I'm ready for the cold just yet. :)
One of Blake's favorite positions it goalie! I think it's the mere competitive side in him that comes out. There is NO WAY he's going to let anyone SCORE on him. We all enjoy his facial expressions when anyone gets near HIS box!
He also really enjoys playing "forward" and running the ball, as he works with his teammates to get the ball down the field. He tends to be limited however on the length of time he can play in this type of position, as it often poses problems with his asthma. ( especially as the cold weather hits)
This was a GREAT play! Blake's teammate had just passed him the ball. He snuck in behind the goalie to score for his team.
This was our "goalie DIVE" injury for the night. Blake's passion for soccer often brings him home with several bruises and occasional blood.I keep telling him he's a bit young to be getting that banged up at a soccer game!! ( he just smiles)
Best of luck on a GREAT season, Kuna Fireballs!

Go Fireballs, indeed! And wishes for a great season for your own little Fireball! :) Looks like a lot of fun, cold weather notwithstanding!
Way to go Blake! I can just see the determined look on his face. You got some really great pics! the only way I survived soccer games was with sitting on top of a hot water bottle. It's so flippin' cold!
