The Chosen One

Lucas is loving soccer again this year and has a great team with lots of really keen players.  Lucas is speedy (it is his nickname at school lol) and can take the ball up the side of the field like it is nobody's business.  He is a natural. 

Two weeks ago he was chosen to be on the select team, this is a team that they put together which consists of the best players in the Under 8's.  They hand pick them to get extra training through the year in the hopes that they will try out for the competitive team (instead of the house league) next year.  He was a little, shall we say, excited!!

Lucas will continue with his house league team till the end of the season but will also have practices with the select team now till next season.   It is really wonderful because there is no cost to us and he will get to play through the winter.  I had never heard of the select team before two weeks ago so it was awesome to find out he was on this special team.  Now I know I have braggin rights to his ability lol.  I am so proud of him, he gives the game his all and now he is being given the opportunity to really shine!
