JV Soccer

Nate (#29) and the JV team
At the end of February, Nate tried out for the high school soccer team. He was excited to find out that he made the Varsity/JV team roster. I was surprised since he is only a freshman and is the smallest player on the team (at a recent Dr.'s visit he was 1% in weight and 4% in height).

He has started as center mid-field for the JV games and the team's pre-season is off to a nice start with 4 wins, 1 loss. It is a busy schedule for him with Monday, Wednesday, Friday games and Tuesday, Thursday practices. Of course with all the traveling he is missing a lot of school, which means late nights catching up on school work. He is worn out and tired by the time he gets home, but one added benefit is that he is too tired to tease his brother and sisters, so it has been much quieter around here recently.
