Rylan is playing in the 7-8 year old league and Carter is in the 9-10 year old league this year. Brian was planning on only coaching indoor soccer this year but offered to assist with both teams.
Rylan's coach is brand new to coaching but he's doing a good job. He doesn't have a very strong team (somehow Rylan got on a team with no one he knows) but that gives Rylan the chance to shine. However, in their first game, they only lost by one point. It was an exciting end! Rylan had a personal best 11 points!!! He and a boy named Carter were the only ones to score (Carter hit his max of 16 points with a few minutes left). Here is a video of Rylan scoring his first point of the season (also the first point of the game for both sides) ...
Carter is playing on his baseball coach's team. The team is made up mostly of kids from his team and a few others. Again, not the strongest team but not horrible. Carter is average to stronger on the team. He just really needs to get some confidence. He didn't score in his game but I did see a lot of great defense from him (I had to leave in the 2nd quarter to take Rylan to his game). Carter's team lost by a lot (25ish) but it's easy to pick out some of the things they need to work on that will make a huge difference.
We are looking forward to a fun season this year without the pressure of being a head coach!
