Broomfield Soccer Club (Gage)

This was our first year to participate in the Broomfield Soccer Club, and now we're converts.  For so long we were driving to Boulder, which gave the boys a great soccer foundation, but it's so nice to have a great outdoor program just minutes from our house. 

Gage took a while to warm up this season, quite literally.  The poor guy froze for the first several games, which didn't really help him in his apprehension about the whole set-up.  Sometimes he just stood on the field like a popsicle, and we questioned if he remembered the objectives of the game.

It really was quite cold during several of the spring soccer games, and I'm sure that the temperature wasn't helping Gage's enthusiasm about the game. 

In these beginning games, Gage barely touched the ball, let alone made any goals.  Later on, we also realized that he was too sweet and polite to ever imagine taking the ball away from somebody else in order to make a goal for his team.  We've got him all squared away now, and he really grew in his skills and level of participation as the spring season progressed.
