Soccer season returned again in January and New Kid decided she was ready to play. She convinced her Dad to sign her up by agreeing to drop swimming from her agenda (poor third kid totally gets that we have to limit each kid). She has really enjoyed her time especially because one of her classmates is on her team - and he happens to be a pretty impressive four-year-old soccer player.
Here they are down field ready to score:
And here they are after scoring a goal . . . C cheers for all!
And here they are getting some coaching . . . I promise they have other players on their team!
Here C is taking it down field to score!
She seems to be pretty pumped about soccer . . .
Or maybe just has something stuck in her teeth?
And then there is this one:
The pictures show a lot more effort and interest than she actually demonstrates.
Actually, this was one of her better games.
Which is hard to believe with the picture below ... notice which way she is looking and where the ball/ action is happening.
And finally the big guy who moved up to 7-on-7 in the fall. This has been a great move for him and he has showed tremendous improvement in his skills. There is not much interest from others to play in the goal so P continues to volunteer. The day I had my camera he spent a lot of time in the goal and with good defense there wasn't much to photograph!
