Kevin's First Real Soccer Game of the Season

Today Kevin had his first real game of the season. They play 4 on 4 at this age, 1 goalie and 3 field players and it has 25 minute halves. There are 7 boys on the team and they take turns coming in and out of the game. Today it was 75 degrees out and the boys got hot quickly.

Kevin played for about 10 minutes and then came out to "rest" and drink some water then he went right back in.
At the half, the first half goalie said he was tired of playing goalie and the coach asked who else wanted to play. Kevin volunteered and had a blast.
Kevin did a pretty good job. I guess the funniest part was watching Kevin throw the ball out over the heads of all the boys on the field and almost to the other goal. He had to learn not to throw quite so far and the boys on his team had to learn to run fast to the other side of the field if Kevin made the save and grabbed the ball.
Next week, Chris will be at the game and can take much better pictures with his camera. He can get the good action shots.
