My son recently started his 2nd year of club ball. He is definitely improving and has a much better attitude so far this year. He has matured and is gaining more confidence. He's still not certain about what offensive position he feels most comfortable but is going to decide as this season progresses. I've had challenges with not being involved from the sidelines when he is in a game but have committed to him and his coach that I will respect them both on the pitch. I just wanted to help him out when he was out of position or not pressing to the best of his abilities. So far this season, so good. They have a scrimmage coming up next week so that'll be the true test of where he's heading...
In other news, he's been playing a fair amount of pick up with me and that is definitely fun. Other guys give me grief for "pushing" him off the ball but I am just getting him to body up. There is a lot more contact in this game than people think and creating space as well as maintaining your position is very important. He still wants to meg me but hasn't yet.
