Senior Academy Champions!


Chase has worked so hard this fall on his soccer.  He has really improved his soccer skills.  In addition to his senior academy team, he's also on the R's x-league competition team.  He is very busy with soccer but he really enjoys it.  Raeder is on both of his teams, and Breaker is on his senior academy team which he has loved!  He's meet a lot of nice boys.  I love seeing Chase come out of his shell.  His coaches have been wonderful!  They are so positive and do an amazing job of building him.  Last year he was switched to a team that didn't win any games so it was a rough year.  It's been so rewarding because his senior academy team won the championship game this fall.  It was a huge boost to Chase's self esteem.  His x-league team has "played up a division" which has made it really difficult for the boys.  The coach was worried that if they played boys their same age, they wouldn't learn as much and not have the same competition.  So they haven't won many games but they're a really good little team.  I think the older boys just have the advantage of size and speed.  So after his championship game, he had an x-league game.  Everyone was so excited because the team won their game.  So the coach took everyone out for shakes after the game.  I love the smiles on their faces.
