Austin made the Union Soccer Team. After participating in the speed and agility program at Union the months of November, December and January, Austin tried out for the soccer team-again. There were about 80 kids at tryouts. Last year he made it right down to the end only to be cut in the last round. This year his hard work paid off. Less than half of those that tried out were chosen. Austin is starting defender for the JV team. It is not the position he is used to playing (he usually plays mid-fielder or forward), but he has a good sense of the field and can help direct the team and use his speed to keep the other team away from the box. Yes, Austin and speed in the same sentence–can you believe it? He is the fastest on his team. It must be those long legs he’s grown this past year. That combined with his determination and hard work makes a winning combination.
