His first year he thoroughly sucked and unfortunately his coach didn't do much teaching - most of the other kids had been playing for several years and were seasoned players not needing much instruction. Last year he went into the draft and landed on a different team with a coach totally dedicated to teaching the game and what a difference. Ian scored the "Most Improved" award. That pumped him up to stay with the sport and his confidence sky rocketed. Since most of the kids on this team were younger than him, Ian moved up to the next division and was recommended to join yet a different team. Again, he's landed a coach dedicated to teaching and inspiring and having fun. He moves the kids around to different positions. He also selected the newest members to be on the All Star team, including Ian!
Since this team was the youngest of the division they were SMEARED, losing every game. That said, these kids LOVE playing that losing really didn't matter. They played hard all the way up to the final buzzer.
