A Ragtag Bunch!

Who'd think this ragtag group of boys could be so much fun to coach and watch!? This is actually only about half of Willem's Rovers White indoor team and Cade (far right) has only played in a couple games when the team was short players. But, it sure has been fun watching this group (along with Massimo-8, Zane-8 and Gideon-9/10) play against 11 and 12 year olds in the U12 league at Kick City Indoor and win four of their seven games so far. This picture was taken after a recent game when this bunch beat the undefeated 'House' team in a close match. The 'House' team is made up of huge (it's all relative :), mostly 12 year olds who had decent skills but just didn't have the hustle that these boys did. Most of the game, the three youngest kids (Will, Irwin and Hector) played mid and forward and scored most of the team's goals, racing and juking past the big 5th and 6th graders. They were pretty proud and so was this mom and coach ;)

Irwin (age: 8), Hector (8), Garrett (9), Dan (10), Willem (7), Keegan (10), Cade (11)
