Soccer

Jayden loves, craves, and lives for soccer. He is so much fun to watch as he goes after the ball and takes it down for a score. In the leagues for kids his age, it is kind of hard for him to figure out what to do, since usually after a few goals, the coaches start to tell him to pass it to other kids. We laugh when we see him racing down the field, and then you can tell when he hears his coach telling him to pass. He will suddenly slow down and look for a teammate, who are usually behind him, and then kick the ball that way to one of them. Its hard, because you don't want to totally score tons on a team - it gets kind of old for everyone else, but how do you keep that drive in a child to go after the ball, dribble around other players, and go for the goal. I think it messes him up a little, but all in all he's doing good with it. There have been a few times where a teammate has been up ahead and he has passed the ball to them and they were able to score a goal. He is so lucky to have a few of his good buddies on his team: Zane, Brendan, Kieran, and Campbell.
