Gage's Last Spring Soccer Game

Gage finished up his spring season just as strong as ever.  Here he is during some pregame drills working on his moves against his teammates.  It was a hot day and he was in black but he powered through.

Gage always was an enthusiastic teammate and he never gives up.  You can see him in hot pursuit with another player closing down and playing some tight defense.

We loved watching Gage play this spring.  He continues to love the game and has learned quite a few new moves which he tries during the games.  In particular, he loves the dragback turn to fake out the nearest opponent.

At the end of the season, Gage received a metal from Coach Taylor for playing on the team.  Coach Taylor also took the time to say some great things about each and every kid that he has coached for the past few years.  Some motivation for the longer speeches were likely driven by the same age changes that Gavin was being effected by and was splitting the team into different groups after they have played for several years together with mostly the same team.  Thankfully, Gage will likely end up on the same team again next fall with Coach Taylor, but two thirds of the team is moving up two years and won't get to play together.
