Daniel’s soccer team from last year, the Wolverines, played winter indoor soccer.  They also invited David to play on the team.  It was so much fun to see the boys playing on the same team.  David was fully up to the challenge of playing with the older kids.  The team was very competitive and, in fact, won most of their games.  Indoor is a very different game and it really wears the kids out.  Here’s a little bit of video that captures Daniel and David playing together.  Watch for Daniel passing to David, who passes back to Daniel for the goal!  It’s kind of difficult to tell whether you’re seeing Daniel or David so here’s a clue: Daniel is number 22 and is left-footed; David is number 23 and is right-footed.  Enjoy!

Daniel had a good season of growth in basketball.  He played on a new team – with a bunch of kids he’s played soccer with.  His speed and quickness were evident throughout the season and his skills continued to improve.  We put together a small sample of his highlights.  As with David, he’s rather easy to spot (hint: look for number 22).

David with his coaches

What a fun time in basketball this season!  David played with the same team as last year – the Celtics.  He has grown so much that, most of the time, he looks a bit out of place with the rest of the third-graders on the court.  He learned a lot and had a tremendous amount of fun.  Here’s just a short sample of the highlights on video.  You won’t have much trouble picking him out – he’s the one making all the baskets in these clips (except for the one clip in which he’s tackled by a much shorter player)!
