Good Things Do Happen

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, Connor just loves his soccer, and is very good at it. And you know that things have not worked out favorably for him when it comes to finding a team to play on. It appears things may be working out, at least for the Spring season. A friend of mine coaches a travel, U11 team (Connor is too old for this team and must play on a U12 team). She has wanted, for the longest time, to figure out how to get Connor to play on her team, but the option of changing her team's designation to U12 has been impossible for various reasons. Until now. A very unlikely series of events has occurred that has changed the situation, making it possible to change the team to U12, allowing her to add Connor to the roster. He'll be the only U12 kid on the team, and they'll be playing teams a year older than the rest of the kids, but the coach felt it was worth it, just to get Connor to play for her. I don't know who's happier, the coach, or Connor.

After all the frustration Conor has endured regarding his desire to play competitive soccer, it's nice to see something good happen for a change.
