WCSA Indoor Soccer

Rylan played on a late fall indoor soccer team with a bunch of his buddies from school (Luc, Ethan, Camden, and Davis).  Brian and I don't like how the league is run and prefer not to coach in it because it just stresses us out, but we were happy to let Rylan play with his friends.

Rylan played with most of this group last year as well.  Coach Derek coaches most of the kids in outdoor soccer with this same league but had room for Rylan to join the indoor team.  Unfortunately, Derek tends to play Rylan less and at defense (we aren't sure why because Rylan is obviously better at offense and scores as soon as he's moved up but maybe Derek feels loyalty to his regular team).  But Rylan was still having fun and that's all that really matters.

The season consisted of 6 games and a tournament.  The team ended up 4-1-1 and ranked 2nd (out of 5 teams) for the tournament. 

Rylan's team played the 3rd place team in their first tournament game.  The game was tied at 0-0 until Rylan pushed up with 13 seconds left and put a perfect shot over the keeper's head.  It was quite exciting!!! :)

The 4th place team beat the 5th place team in the first game.  Then 4th beat 1st in the next game.  So Rylan's team got to play the 4th place team in the championship.  They won that game 5-1 (with Rylan scoring 2 of the goals including a bomb from midfield).

The boys got t-shirts!

The indoor season at Crockett Arena starts next week and Brian is coaching both boys' teams.  We are excited to start that season!
