From Soccer to Baseball Back to Soccer
If you read my other blog, you may have seen the September post linked above about Jackson deciding to play baseball last fall.
Here is an excerpt from that post...
"The group of boys that he has played soccer with the past few years are a year older than Jackson, and when it came time to try out for a more advanced soccer league (per age group), Jackson didn't make a team. He was very disappointed, but again, these leagues are based on age. He should have been trying out for the 10U at age 9, but he tried out for 11U at age 9. We honestly were not surprised that he did not make a team, but I think this made a huge impact on Jackson. So....he decided to play baseball instead."
Jackson liked baseball ok, but not nearly as much as soccer.
This winter, he was able to play indoor soccer for his old coach. This coach also coaches one of the teams Jackson tried out for last spring. Those teams stay together for the fall and spring of the next year. Well, the coach lost a player, and he asked Jackson to play up for him on this spring's team.
Today I picked up some of Jackson's team gear!
He could not wait to try it on!
