Last night, Owen had the opportunity (along w/ some of his other teammates) to be ball boy at the final SU soccer game. He had an absolute blast and took his job very seriously, despite the frigid temperatures. And, his team provided the halftime entertainment - they scrimmaged one another on the field.
This was kind of CNY United's last hurrah. This was the final event that was planned as the CNY United soccer team. Their team has now merged w/ the other top soccer team in the Syracuse area, Empire United making them an unstoppable force. Empire United has three teams across NY state, and for the older kids - this brings them national recognition. They even have a contract w/ Adidas. Our boys start practice this week - 3 times a week!!!! Which is a bit much for our U9 boys team, I think. Actually, it's a bit much for the moms and dads. The boys are absolutely thrilled to get to play together 3 times a week. They played their first game together this weekend as a combined team, and seriously - I'm not sure there's another U9 team around that could beat them. They are that good. They squashed a U11 team on Saturday. It's going to be fun to watch.

WOW! 3xs a week is WAY too much for this mom! With other activities through out the week, how will you juggle it all?
How often will this new powerhouse team get to compete with any real competition? This merger seems silly so young in their careers! It's fun to go up against teams that are a good match! Of course it's fun to be so good too!!!!!!!!
