Soccer

An awesome lady in our ward had the GENIUS idea to come up with a neighborhood sports group! It's cheap, all the practices (no matter the age) are at the same time/place, the games are at the same time/place. It's truly a wonderful thing!
Aiden an Gray had their first games two Saturdays ago and everything went swimmingly!

Aiden scored the first and only goal for his team!! But the other team had a little ringer who answered back with 5 goals of his own! This kind of put a damper on Aiden's mood, but I wish he could see how good he's gotten since the last time he played (which was 2 years ago!).
The parents volunteer to be coaches. This is probably the only drawback to the program...the lack of volunteers. Bret was assigned to Gray's age group, so it's basically him versus fourteen 4-5 year olds. It gets a bit chaotic.
But the kids seem to enjoy it. And when they decide to take a break for half of a game or run off to throw rocks, I don't care, I didn't pay $90 for them to play!

We do that out here, William has been playing Soccer, Football and Tball. It is the best $25 I have spent. They look like they are enjoying themselves.
