Soccer comes to successful end…

KIds' soccer wrapped up the season this weekend under mostly sunny skies...
This past weekend was the end of the regular season for the island’s soccer program…the on-island teams wrapped up the season under sunny skies (those are the teams that stay on the island for all their games each Saturday), while some of the travelling teams (they play about half their games here, and half over in the Skagit Valley somewhere – those are the U-13 & U-14 teams) have season-ending tournaments this Saturday.
Our U-19 team plays all their games off-island, and continue till mid-November – they’re about half & half for wins & losses, and the boys tell me they’re really growing tighter on the field. (The “U” thingie means “under” – like under 19 years old, by the way.)
All this wouldn’t happen if we didn’t have such cool & dedicated volunteers, and it sure wouldn’t happen if the kids didn’t make it so fun. It’s cool to go to school & see some 200 kids playing & their parents & brothers & sisters & friends cheering & reffing & coaching, with smiles all around. Nice season – way to go!
Some 200 kids played this fall season...
This was the first year for a program for the under-six kids...
