We have just about completed a season of fall soccer.
This was Andrew's first team sport and he loved it. All summer he could not wait for soccer to start. Technically he was supposed to be four to be in the league so I had to do a little smooth talking, but it all worked out. He was very focused and interested and actually not that bad. He sticks to the ball like glue and runs his heart out! He was, by far, the shortest child on the team but he didn't know it. He never wanted to sit on the sidelines. He just wanted to play!
This was Katie's second team sport, her first being Tee Ball. This sport certainly went better. She tends to be shy in new group situations, but was very comfortable witih soccer. Probably because her brother was there, but nonetheless, she did a great job. She had a few assists and a couple good blocks. And, she is a very fast runner - must be those skinny legs! That said, they really didnt keep score and often the players scored in the wrong goal! Not exactly a competetive league! But fun!
