Owen’s Fall Soccer Season

Owen was blessed this soccer year to have the best coaches ever! (except maybe his dad!) Mike and Karen Parker, the owners of Shooters, decided to coach his team, and handpicked a bunch of kids his age from their friends' families (that weren't picked for the A team anyway). They are MASTER coaches, their practices are SO fun, and Owen had a blast Fall season. There's a lot of nice kids on the team too. He really grew as a player, and was solidly center defense!  He played most of every game, hardly ever came out.

Here's Owen on the right, going all in and getting the ball before falling down!  He's #25.

On the left, you can't see him because he's right behind this kid, beating him and pressuring him so he couldn't score. And on the right, ready to have his teammate's back.

Owen taking the ball upfield....and passing.

Owen involved in another rough exchange!

Yay for parents with nice cameras who take pictures of the kids and give them out to parents!

Such a fun team!  Owen is 3rd from the left.

And here's just the boys.

Camden Parker!(son of Lana and Steve!), Austin, Owen, Eric, Jackson, David(Peterson! another old friend), Thomas, Griff, Mason, Sawyer, Liam, Caleb

nice!!  He's even got his hand out to block the other kid

I love this big smile from Owen (in the back). I think he really does like soccer, he's just such a homebody that he doesn't like to go to things sometimes. He did have some stress with conflicts with Les Mis rehearsals, but overall it was a great fall season!
