3rd and 4th grade games.

[Hawks Coach]

I used to run a rec soccer league for our homeowner's association. A little kid from one of the townhomes next to the field used to come up with his dad and kick the ball into the big goal at the end of the field by his house. We had a 5-6 year old team and he was 4, but he really wanted to play so we let him hang out with us.

For several games he never really gets to the ball. He finally gets his big chance, and he is right by the hockey goal we use for peewee soccer. He dribbles right past the goal, past the endline of our 30X40 yard field, and about 20 yards away to, you got it, the big goal at the end of the field. He buries a shot in the corner of the big goal, leaves the ball there and comes running back in full goal celebration.

When we all stopped laughing, we sent one of the older kids down to get the ball so we could get the game going again.

You only have these moments in the peewee games.
