Soccer




Ben's Game Stats:
Score: 20 to 1 for the Black Rockets
Ben: 4 goals, assists on every goal that was made while he was playing
Cheerleaders: Lizzy, Tia Susan, Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Janet

You know you're playing soccer in Utah when . . .
the referees, coaches, and most of the spectators have a kid on their hip
the boundaries change every few minutes because someone's sibling on the sidelines took off with the cones
the strongest language from the players is "oh my heck"
and time outs are called most often for a child that has crawled onto the field.

I hate soccer for kids under 14. I coached once and the rules were rediculous. Interestingly even in high school level soccer if a spectator uses language worse than gosh darn, they can be asked to leave.

he's biggest kid out there! wonder he scored 4 goals i'd run out of his way too! but way to go Ben!

did his team really win 20-1? if so then his league typifies the other thing i hate about U-14 soccer.

Regardless of my opinions, Ben does seem to have some great soccer skills. During my high school carreer I only scored 2 goals, but then again I played defense.

Yes, the game was 20 to 1. Ben is quite the athlete. There is no mercy with 6 yr olds.
