Back on the Pitch!!!

That's right... the greatest sport ever has started back up in Boise, and Spring soccer is in full bloom (pun intended). And indeed, soccer can be a full contact sport; check out that picture on the left! Both players are getting pretty aggressive on the ball here, and number 6 with his back to you is Andrew. The girls on the coed teams don't slow Andrew down at all when he's going for the ball! Nice tackle, Andrew! By the way, no penalty was called here; it was just two players being aggressive after the ball, and despite crashes and burns by both players, everybody was alright and play went on.

I also like this photo on the right. It looks like Andrew is "juggling" the ball with his knees or something, but he's not. It's just a ball coming down, and Andrew going for it.

The season is going well so far. We've had two matches, winning the first one 4-1, and the second one 5-3. Andrew has played almost exclusively at left midfielder, getting lots of exercise! Enjoy these and 58 more photos from their April 4th game, that I've posted here on Facebook, or here on Flickr.
