Once Cal quit basketball he decided to spend his Tuesday and Thursday nights at soccer open gym. It is held at the middle school and from what Doug and I have heard there are close to 35 boys that are attending. Cal has really enjoyed reconnecting with his freshmen soccer team. There are 16 juniors that play and they have a great time trash talking each other.
One night he did come home and tell us that he shoved one of the players into the bleachers when they were going for the ball and the other player cut his eye open. Cal told us not to worry, however, as the custodian was there and said that it looked like it would be fine. For now we are thrilled that he has found a positive outlet for his energy. We know that he will return to tennis in the fall, but it is wonderful that he has a group of friends that enjoy competing just as much as he does. It is nice to know also that the custodian is looking out for them!
