juniper Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thanks DiZ!!! I did the sports thing, taught him well! I am most proud that he is a good student, speaks fluent German working on another language and plays the piano like a freak.... but he is 13 and they get a little intense.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Boy scored 7 goals in his first practice against the best in our state, at 13, the goalies average 6'3 and they were the 3 best in our state. He scored more then anyone on the pitch and was playing up 2 yrs...The coach said "if you learn two touches in the box, we will have to find you a new team" European coaches really know whats going on...... sadly...

Coytee Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Congrats to the boy! I thought this was a newborn reveal party. I tried to play soccer once when I was at a boys camp for the summer (in Ely Minnesota). I went twice so I was in 4th grade and 5th grade (don't recall how old that would have been) Ball was in the air I really didn't know what I was doing BUT, I saw this as an opportunity to hit it with my head and thought that was cool, so....went for the head shot.... Well, about that time one of the older boys or counselers, I have no clue....saw the ball coming down and decided he was going to try to do a Pele move on it.... went up to kick the ball.....I went up to hit it with my head and he kicked me square upside the head and about knocked me out. Yeah....I think that was one of the last times I tried to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High kick. That's a penalty and sometimes a card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
