Tyron participates in Irene School Soccer Tournament

As a father of a child, it makes me proud to say that Tyron is definitely following in his fathers foot steps. Yes, I’m bragging a bit, but who wouldn’t if their child made them proud. It’s only natural if you ask me, right?

Tyron is attending Farrarmere Primary School in Benoni and is doing well in school work and even sport. Anyway, when I was a youngster attending school, I use to do very well in sports and my grades were not that bad. I never got straight A’s, but I would average between a D and B in most of my subjects.

I played soccer throughout my school days and I was not bad at all, I dreamed of one day playing pro soccer. I played for a club called Arcadia and made it all the way to just under professional soccer in South Africa. Yes, I was one level away of fulfilling my dream and even had tryouts overseas in Madeira. Lets just say that the goalkeeper had more skill than me, lol. My eyes were open and eventually came back to South Africa and now work in the information technology department doing programming.

Let me get back to Tyron now. Tyron was selected by his school to participate in 7-a-side soccer tournament which was held at Irene Primary School on the 14th of August 2010.

When I picked Tyron up on Friday, I was given some documents that contained what time we had to be there, what they wanted the players to wear and of course the schedule for the games.

His side was scheduled to play 5 games starting at 9am and finishing at 12pm. We had to be at the school at 8am, so it was not that bad for me. We did not have to get up too early, we could sleep a bit later than I do during the week for work and that was a bonus

When Tyron and I arrived at Irene Primary School, there were loads of boys and girls running all over the place. I could see all the mommies and daddies chasing their kids around and trying to keep the order, but they had no chance of succeeding. I met Tyron’s coach which they all call Mr T, it’s short for Mr Tebo. Tyron was the tallest player in their team and I was not surprised at all, he takes after his mother in that respect.

They played a total of 5 games with the results being:

• 1 win
• 3 draws
• and only lost 1

They did very well for not playing soccer for sometime and received bronze medals. He was so happy and recons he is going to receive many medals in his life time. I asked why and he said and I quote

I’m only 8 years old now and I already have 3 medals.

I just smiled and maybe giggled a bit, it was just so cute how he said it. I guess that seeing all my medals at home has inspired him to be successful.

I took a few photo’s are they are listed below, so take your time to go through them and see what the day entailed.
