He may be just three and a half, but the kid is passionate and he can hustle! But most importantly, he WANTS to play, to be in there, to GET THAT BALL! Owen has been subbing in on the team (we had a low team count and lots of illness this season), and he loves it! He is a full head (or more) shorter than some of the kids, and his kicks and throws aren't quite as powerful as some, but he's quick and fearless and has quickly become a star player! His technique fits with a Sweeper position because he zooms all over the field - wherever the ball migrates, and then he steamrolls into position and takes over possession. It's awesome to watch! He's one of the team's top-scorers, maintaining a minimum of two goals each Saturday and many assists (some purposefully to his brother!)! And that's the best part! They have so much fun playing out there ~ together!!
That is so great that Owen is getting a chance to play!! I know he was really sad to be left out. I sure wish I could come see a game. : (
