Soccer...Soccer...Soccer

 Wow, it's been a busy couple of months.

This time of year the calendar is always full -- school, activities and soccer!

This year was especially busy since Max played on three different teams.

His year-round Celtic team worked hard, really hard.

They got a new coach, they trained, practiced and rose to the occasion.

They played a year-up and ended up winning their league.

It was an undefeated season for the B12 Green Team!

Max also decided this year he wanted to play with his school buddies.

It was important to him to join his friends.

He had a ton of fun with the Wildcats and they had a great season.

Next up -- Surf Academy.

This is a new tournament team he recently joined.

They practice once per month and participate in different tournaments throughout the year.

They just finished playing the Titans Invitational and won out their age group.

They were undefeated and played some pretty impressive soccer.

This team is comprised of players from different teams from different leagues

so Max has been enjoying playing with some familiar faces and meeting new players.

Carmen was also busy this soccer season.

Between refereeing and playing on the Cheetahs, her weekends were full.

With her dad as the coach, she stepped up as a leader.

She helped with the line-ups and game strategies.

She played hard and really showed a love of the game

and a love of winning...she certainly played with passion.

A recent game called for snow, lots of snow!

It was a different type of game -- fun and frustrating.

It was certainly memorable.

Proud of Carmen for digging in, giving it her all

and being a team player.
