Matt was very into baseball in the spring, and hadn't played soccer yet. Since baseball isn't offered in teh fall around here at his age, we decided to give soccer a try. He initially said he wasn't interested, and didn't want to play. One week in and he was hooked! He LOVED it! He just hated "losing", though they weren't officially keeping score at this age.
Practices were full of a variety of drills.
The first game, coach asked what the 3 rules were. Matt responded that one was "don't cry"! He did a little, but only when they were "losing". Funny how adults don't keep score, but the kids do.
A missed opportunity, and Matt's head was in his hands.
Matt loved the long kicks the best.
I need to be over there, coach!
I think they got scored on. They were so cute, even in their disappointment.
It turned out to be a good season, full of fun moments and some social, emotional and athletic growth for Matt. We'll see how he feels about soccer after baseball ends, but now it's on to baseball again!
