Soccer 2010...

Trent is on a Sparta Soccer league. He practices twice a week and has a game every Saturday.
Trent in Action
Trent's fan club.... They won their game 5-0. They have lost a couple of games...but remember...we don't keep score..they are all winners...yeah right!! The kids ALWAYS know the score!
We weren't sure Trent was going to be able to play. He was scheduled to get his 'hardware' removed from his leg in April. When we went to the pre-op they told us he wouldn't be able to run, jump or the like...and especially not play soccer...for 6 weeks after they remove the screws...what seriously?? Did they realize we were looking at a 8 year old boy?!?!? The bone would have 'holes' left from the screws and it takes a good 6 weeks for new bone to fill that in...kind of like removing a screw from your deck..lol! The body does an amazing job of repairing itself...unlike wolmanized wood!!
After some discussion with the doctor...we decided October might be a better choice...wise move!!! It's kind of a back up plan for this summers 4-wheeling trips...lol! A leg can't re-break with a plate in it ...can it???

Good plan. Joel still has the plate and screws in his ankle from 4 years ago.

Gosh that boy is cute! So glad to read he can play soccer this season.

I know what you mean about those no score leagues. The kids always know the score. Isn't that the point to the game - to score!
