dobber family soccer updates (and your kids sports, too!)

[dmartin]

Not sure how the season is going to go in the Martin household this year.  Last year's undefeated Martinette team has now been split into two teams (older girls moving up a notch, with younger girls filling their place).  Can coach Martin duplicate last season's success for not 1, but 2 teams this year?  Stay tuned to find out.

Also, MartinJR enters his final season of rec soccer, before moving up to the middle school level or possible retirement. Can he keep his goals per game against average of .166 for a final season?

Practice has started and games begin in a couple weeks!

side note, while throwing out possible team names this week (by the way, both Martinette teams are light pink) the suggestion of cotton candy was thrown out.  I thought she said rotten candy, which honestly sounds like a pretty good name for a girls soccer team.  amirite?

what has toddlerdobber been up to?

I told a really great story about him in another thread and nobody responded. I thought maybe nobody cared about him anymore.

The fields were off limits at this tournament, so he spent most of his time hanging out with one of the boy's older sister. He is quite the lady's man. He did slip and fall on the bleachers and that lead to some tears, but I asked him if he was tough and he said no. So I said, oh, you are pillowy soft like a marshmallow and then he started laughing and went back to playing.

I'll retell it here:

Mrsdobber took Toddlerdobber to see JW. She told me that he cried during the movie. I was pretty incredulous that he would cry, so I asked her what happened. Mrs dobber said that toddlerdobber had to go to the bathroom during the movie. As they were walking up the long hallway towards the theater exit he was yelling "PAUSE IT! PAUSE IT!"  When the mean person operating the movie didn't comply, toddlerdobber started crying. 


Gonna win 'em all!

Ninjas had a tournament. 2-1-1 played for first and lost. Good tournament. toddlerdobber did some great things.
Ninjas league started. Played two games. Both ties at 1-1. Had 12 players for both games. dobberjr scored a goal with his new pink shoes and gave them a kiss during the game.

Angels are doing well. I think they are 5-1-0. dobberjr is playing center back, right back, and holding mid for the most part. Occassionaly getting some opportunities from holding mid. Took a free kick from 35 yards and drilled it.

Toddlerdobber is getting tired of watching dobberjr play soccer all of the time. He says that he wants to start playing. He likes to play tag instead of watch soccer on the sidelines.

Does anyone else on the team have pink shoes or is dobberjr a trailblazer?

Trailblazer

Had the first swim meet of the season. There are parents and coaches who scream "GO!" or something similar when the kids lift their head out of the water on breast stroke. On like every stroke. So absurd.

13 straight days of rain in North Cack-a-lacky....ain't nobody got time for that. Gave dobberjr the opportunity to recover from a head injury, which was said to not be a concussion with the use of a CT scan.


Gonna win 'em all!
