The Green Breeze

I know...it really is a rather uninspiring name for a 4 and 5 year old soccer team. If they all lived in a retirement home, it might seem more appropriate. (Don't ask me why--it sounds like a team name that senior citizens would choose. And maybe they did. There was complaining in the soccer league because last season, they let the kids choose their own team name and teams were being called the Purple Sponge Bob and things like that. So this season, adults chose and came up with far superior names.)

Anyway...
Joost is playing soccer this spring and having a lot of fun doing so. There's 6 on his team and 3 play on the field at a time--which gives him a lot of opportunity to have contact with the ball if he wants. ("If he wants" being the subjective part of that sentence.) I don't think anyone really keeps track of points, either, so I can't give you their record for the season so far. But, he's having fun and burning energy. And we enjoy cheering him on. Go Green Breeze!
