It has been so fun and funny to watch 3- and 4-year-olds learn to play soccer together... It's crazy to realize just how much they have to learn to 'play a team sport' for the first time:
Line up
Wait for your turn to kick when at your station
Stay at your station
Listen to your coach
Take turns being goalie
Not asking 100 times when we can go play at the park
Cheer for each other
Keep your hands off the ball
Get together with the team for a huddle
Stay on the field instead of wandering over to the blanket by mom and little bro and sis
Shake hands with the other team
Seriously, the patience of those coaches is pretty incredible :)
Cooper is having fun, and although he was a little shy to get going tonight, once he started kicking the ball around with his buddy, Alex, he was all smiles!
I am looking forward to next week!!
Night #1. Organized Chaos.
Night #2. Getting there...
Cooper was goalie
So thirsty!
Trying to score
Mom, how much time is left? He literally just wandered off the field and came over to ask...
Go BLUE!!!
