Tucker played on the high school soccer team again this year. He improved so much from last year. He played starting center defensive mid. He really enjoyed it. Tucker spent so much time with the soccer team they became pretty close. He had practice everyday after school and never got home until 6:30. The base decided to re-turf their field right before the soccer season started so they had to travel 30 minutes to another field to practice everyday. Then he would leave on Fridays, sometimes Thursdays, to travel to play a game. He would often come home Saturday at midnight and sometimes even on Sunday. For his games the team would ride the bus anywhere from 5-15 hours. It was honestly crazy, and not great. Tucker didn't mind because he was hanging out with friends but they only had one weekend of home games during the entire season. I think it was a lot to ask of the kids and their families. He missed a day of school or two each week and had no time over the weekend to do homework or study. The one weekend of games we got to watch was pretty fun. Tucker did great.
Tucker is now obsessed with everything soccer.
