The boys' first soccer game

Saturday was the boys' first soccer game and as a surprise to everyone (especially their coach!) they won!

More importantly, they had a good time and got a lot of exercise. Several of the boys on the team played last year on a kindergarten team, so they've got a few on the team who have a general idea of what they're supposed to be doing. That is really helpful. :) Mark rotated the kids through different positions and they did a really good job. A couple of the goals scored were even the result of teamwork and passes!

A few pictures of the game--Zhenya is number 4 and Dima is number 6.

I could have guessed that Mark would coach :-) So fun! I cannot believe how big the boys have gotten!

Great pics... and I love their team colors :)

Isn't that funny? Our boys and a few others from their school are playing a combined team with another school and those are the colors of the other school. :)

"Dima checking out the competition" is a hilarious caption. His posture is perfect for it. Love it!
