A short quiz...

It's a lot of fun having Josh in an under-6 Clovis Junior Soccer League, but I have to say that he rarely kicks the ball, and especially when someone else has it or is around it. Like he'll touch the ball 5 times over the course of 30 minutes. Lots of yelling, plenty of running around but not a lot of action. So let's take a short quiz...
What is keeping Josh Dixon from kicking the soccer ball?


a. He's afraid of the ball.

b. He's not
a competitive person.
c. He doesn't get how soccer works.

d. He has wonderful parents who have taught him not to take a ball away from others without asking, and he's simply reluctant to disobey by kicking the ball when someone else is around it.

The answer is "d." Surely "d." Without question "d." Anyway, here's a shot that pretty much typifies the action:

At least he's not getting yellow cards yet.

Or "intent to injure" suspensions like his godfather?!?

Is the Carla Dhillon behind the kid in the white shirt?

Now, let's keep that between you, me, the ref's, and the league board.

Maybe he's just staying on his line?

I'm hoping he goes all "Full Braden Grunt" on some punk 5 year old in tomorrow's game...
