Willem's Spring Season Update

I wanted to document the end of the spring season for Willem. Willem's EMFC U10 Rovers White team comprised of Andrew B, Max P, Irwin L., twins Sean & Ryan K., Dan R., Garrett G, Julian N., Trent S. and Willem played in the silver (2nd out of 3) division of U11 Kidsports and finished the season 5-3 and in 3rd place out of 10 teams. Willem played half of most games in the goal and the other half usually at forward. He is always fun to watch, sometimes a little too competitive :) and always wants to win (really badly) but luckily recovers quite quickly when he doesn't. Willem scored about 5 or 6 goals this season and always held his own against the bigger boys. We look forward to watching him play U10 again this year and he'll hopefully make up a little more of the difference in size from the kids he's playing!

Willem isn't afraid to direct the team when he's in goal or on the field. It always surprises me how he is not intimidated at all playing with boys 2+ years older than him.


Will has the form all figured out when he throws the ball out instead of kicking it

We didn't get a team pictures but here are five of the boys: Julian, Andrew, Max, Willem & Dan
