Max prevails in his first street soccer tournament

This weekend maxes soccer team did games differently. They ran something called a street soccer tournament. We really had no idea what to expect. The kid showed up and played new short pick up games with different boys every 15 minutes. They played a total of six games in two hours. It was exhausting for them.

The way the scoring worked was to add up individual totals for their teams for each of the six games and then see which boys came out on top. Max was ranked four out of the 70 boys there. We were so proud of him when he got the award. The award was just a little soccerball, but the pride that came with being acknowledged for his hard work and effort is priceless. I’m so proud of him. I’m so happy for him getting some recognition for the hard work he’s been putting into soccer this year. It was his idea to move to the new team and work harder at soccer. He’s proving to keep up his end of the bargain which is to work hard.
