As proud parents, all we ever ask of our kids is that they try and do
their best at whatever they apply themselves to. On the sporting arena our kids
have taken to sports dominated by their gender. Sam is heavily involved with
dancing while Ethan loves his soccer and athletics.
Since returning to dancing this year, Sam has been improving tenfold
and this year has been a member of a dance troop which has competed in many
dance estidfords. Her hard efforts have been rewarded with a 2nd
placing at one particular estidford.
Ethan is once again heavily involved in his soccer. He played indoor throughout
the summer months and then quickly made the transition to outdoor soccer where
he once again plays for Figtree. As an U8 the boys now have goalies, take
throw-in and corner kicks, all of which Ethan has taken in his stride. Ethan
with his lightning speed has fitted well into the right wing position and has
scored a mountain of goals. He’s also been picked to play in a development
squad which gives talented boys an opportunity to shine…. In both forms of the game
he’s shown great potential.
On the athletics field both kids attended their school athletics carnival
and while Sam enjoyed the experience and did her best, it was Ethan’s athleticism
that shone through. He finished the day with a 2nd in the 100 &
200m race and 1st in the 400m race and equal 1st in the
discus. This achievement was enough for him to secure U8 age champion and a
place on the team heading to the zone athletics carnival in August.
