Now that Jarod is in elementary school, he was able to join a "kick and chase" soccer team with other kindergarteners and first graders in his school district.  He is on a team of 12.  Their color is jade.  They named themselves the Jade Dragons.

Recently, they took group photos, played their first "real" game (against the Red Fireballs) and had the introduction to all the teams.  Here are some of the pictures.

Each team got to run under the banner to introduce themselves.  They did this before the first games of the season.

A shot of Jarod during their first game against the Red Fireballs.  The ball was out of bounds so I called to him... guess he was pretty excited.

Here is the best shot I could come up with when they were taking group photos.  They had professional photographers, so they cordoned off the area to prevent us from taking decent shots.  (Can we say $$$?)
