When the fall soccer season rolled around, Matt decided to try his skills at coaching the team. While he certainly has experience playing soccer and coaching older kids, taking on the role of coaching 6-year-olds could definitely be a major test of patience. Turns out Matt pulled off coaching these kids like a champ. The boys chose the name Flaming Tigers for the team name. Braden really disliked that name. He knew he was part of a winning team and wanted a more intimidating name like the Raging Bulls. He didn't win that battle, but the boys did win almost every game.
Getting ready to score.....
This season offered an opportunity to play a variety of positions, including goalie.
Whenever Braden played goalie, it added a whole new level of stress for his mom and dad!
Familiar faces Landin and Cornell were on Braden's team. Holden became a new friend this season.

Keegan, Brady and Owen were three other teammates.
While Braden was a strong defender, he really enjoyed playing goalie.
We played against Braden's old friend from preschool, Bradey.

How did this adorable crew turn into such a creepy bunch?!
Uncle CJ took a break from his life that is entrenched in soccer to cheer on Braden's team.
Cornell, Brady, Owen G., Keegan, Holden, Owen F., Nick, Braden and Landin made up the Flaming Tigers. The team was led by Coach Matt and Assistant Coach Doug.
An end-of-the-season party wouldn't be the same without trophies of course!
