Chandler's Final Soccer Game in his First Season!

Chandler has had a wonderful time playing soccer for his first time ever recently through a local YMCA! My good friend and co-worker, Su Sheridan, has a son the same age as Chandler, Noah. She's been asking me for the past few years to sign up Chandler for soccer so that he could join Noah and they could play on the same team. Funds were usually the main reason I wasn't able to sign him up in previous seasons, but this year I made it a specific point to make it happen for Chandler, since he's 9 years old now and has never played any sports on a team before and he has way too much physical talent in his little body. His coach said many times throughout the season that she could not believe that he has not played before because he's a "natural". I thought I would post some pics from his last game, which was on Saturday, May 15th, 2010...

GO CHAD!!!

One of my favorite moments after each game...seeing the teammates shake hands with the opposing teammembers as they say, "Good Game!!" It's heart-warming to see them all learn at such a young age to express good sportsmanship and respect towards others.

Looking at all the trophies set up on display for all the soccer teams!
All the boys can't wait for the trophy ceremony!
Chandler steps up to receive his trophy for playing a great spring soccer season!
Chandler and Noah...friends forever!
