Meet the Team

For those who are new to this site, the parents of the players asked that I use the nicknames of the players on the blog.

Sonic

Sonic is one of the young men on the team. He is the other speed merchant on our team. Unlike Dallas, who is a long strider, (Dallas is the other speed demon on the team) Sonic's speed comes from quickness and high RPMs. Unlike so many players on the team, Sonic is not afraid to get in there and mix it up with other players.  He is not the biggest guy on the team, but mess with him at your own risk.  In addition to being a great soccer player, I have been told he is a gifted martial artist. When a foul gets called against our team, it is usually Sonic. It's a good thing.  He brings a much needed toughness to the team. Sonic got his nick name because of his speed and hard nose playing style. Besides, I think he kind of looks like Sonic.

Sonic is one of those players coaches love. He doesn't say much and does not mess around in practice. To borrow a line from another coach, "he just gets on with it." He can play any position on the field. He always plays hard. He and Dallas are the second leading scorers on the team. The only problem is that he runs himself out. He needs to learn to pace himself.  Not a bad problem to have. Simply put, Sonic is one of the players that makes this team go. The best part is when the team started last summer, Sonic was one of my two seven year olds.  Now if I could only get him to put more shots on goal. 

Keep logging on and follow Sonic's journey with the rest of his teammates.
