Soccer

The girls have been anxiously awaiting the start of soccer season.  This is the one thing that they have really wanted to do.  So two weekends ago it finally started!
They are in the U4 division which only practices once a week on Saturday mornings.  There are 9 teams of about 10 kids each – so that is a lot of 3 year olds running around.  Fortunately only 3 teams practice at a time.

Meeting the three coaches – you may not be able to tell but the girls’ soccer balls have pink swooshes on them!

They got divided up into a small group with their coach Lindsey.  The little girl in the purple jacket is one of our neighbors Natalie.

Working on their soccer position

They tried to have a little scrimmage at the end of the practice.  They clearly did not understand the concept of two teams going different directions.

Audrey was in tears at the end because she did not score a goal during the scrimmage.   The coach did not help when she told her that she did score – as I had just told her that she did not score and that it is ok to not score. Oh dear!
Though overall they LOVED it!
We have only had one practice cause we have had so much rain here that the fields were basically underwater last weekend.  Hoping that tomorrow ends better than last week!
