Tom has been playing football for the Hazelbrook Hawks for two seasons now. After looking a little lost for a while, he has started to improve noticeably over the past six weeks or so. I like him to play team games as being an only child is not the clearest path to learning how to co-operate with his peers. I hope that he wants to play next year too as this will consolidate his skills, both personal and physical. Another parent, Tristan, snapped this excellent action shot of Tom two weeks ago, and I reproduce it below.
