Luckily Tiff hooked us up with her sister in law, Joni and we were able to get Chase on a competitive soccer team. It's a combination of 7th and 8th graders. They started practicing in August which was a huge blessing because it made it so Chase knew a few more kids at school. I'm grateful for all the time and money we've invested into soccer because Chase has been a great asset to the team. The coaches have been very complimentary about Chase being on their team. They've had Chase playing mid field which has been nice for a change because normally he's on defense and he was getting really sick of that position. Luckily they already have a really strong defensive player so Chase has enjoyed playing midi.
The boys have been very accepting and kind to Chase. Colt, Joni's son, took him under his wing and has been a good friend to him. He invited him to be on a 3 vs 3 team over at the high school for a fund raiser. They took second because the team that won cheated according to our boys. There were some girls that also participated. Nick told us a couple of weeks later that Chase is known as the "hot red head with skills!" That boosted his ego!
Chase got new cleats at the beginning of the season and luckily he picked out a bright blue so it made him a lot easier to pick out when he's on the field. The team sometimes practices and scrimmages the girls 7th and 8th graders. They're a fun group of girls. Chase is on the front row, 5th in from the left.
