Since November, Garrett has been playing in the Valeo indoor soccer league with all his second grade friends. It has been such a fun season and a great soccer learning experience. This week was the playoffs. Our boys are playing U9 soccer so they are actually playing up a level.
The boys ("Chargers") brought the intensity and after a long 24 minutes, the game was tied 2-2. Then, they proceeded to the 3 minute golden ball time. Basically, the next goal wins. After 3 minutes of the most aggressive and determined soccer, there was still no goal. They proceeded into Penalty Kicks. Garrett was in goal so he was the goalkeeper for PKs. Garrett was incredible and made every parent on the sideline take note of his intensity and determination. He stood in that goal and tried his very best. Unfortunately, the other team had some fantastic corner shots. Garrett was congratulated by all watching because he did everything he could to win. Some times we come up short but if you put in the effort there is nothing else you can do. What a true Champion!!!
