Matthew Soccer

Matthew just finished his fall soccer season. He played on the Spartans and Dale Phillips was his coach for the second year in a row. Matthew had lots of fun, and his team did pretty well too.


Matt likes playing defender or mid-fielder best, and he does a pretty good job of keeping the ball away from the goal box. We even discovered that he could run pretty fast when he wants to!

Being aggressive has never been Matthew's strong suit, but he is learning to really get in there and fight for the ball. What I love most about watching Matt play soccer though is his smile. Even when he is racing down the field to beat another kid to the ball, he has a huge smile on his face. You can tell he is in it for the fun and that he enjoys the game, and I think that's great!
