The last couple of weekends, BJ tried out for the Northshore Youth Soccer Associations Select Soccer organization, FC Alliance. It was the first year (U11) he's been eligible to try out. He was hesitant to try out and yes, Bryan and I bribed him. To give him a little incentive he got a bonus if he made the team. Essentially I wanted him to try out to boost his confidence a little bit, sometimes he gets down on himself and I wanted him to know, if he wanted to, he could play soccer at a very competitve level.He went out and tried his best, even though 2 of his tryouts were after his Basketball games. He had a great attitude towards making it, saying that if he didn't make it he wanted to come out harder next year and make the team next year. I was very proud of his attitude on that. His tryouts ended Saturday and we received a call that he made the team.
He politely declined the team as he's not ready to leave his friends and coaches (wink, wink) on the Sharks. Besides, if he wants to play something competitively, I think he'll go with basketball - that's really where his heart is! Stay tuned, he has basketball tryouts at the end of the month that he may be going to as well.

Excellent job BJ. We always knew you had it in you. They'll be banging down your door for both basketball and soccer.
