Blitz Soccer

This spring we decided to for-go t-ball and give soccer a whirl.  Too much standing around in t-ball for the attention span of a 4-5 year old...we need something with more running and action!  We've only had a couple practice and today was the 2nd game.  Ben seems to really like it...it's fun seeing him interact so easily with other kids.  He even scored a goal his first game!


A clip from the first game of him scoring his goal...he was pretty excited as you can tell from the celebration. :)


Warming up with his team...the Silver Bobcats.



Here we go...


A little like herding sheep out there, but Ben gets right in there!





Chatting on the sideline.  They play 3 on 3 for 4, 8-minute quarters and there are 6 on the team so they get rotated in and out every 4 minutes.

Zach enjoys soccer games too and has fun kicking the ball around in the back field.

He's a pretty good little kicker!


A couple of future players.


The hardest part of soccer game day is that games are at 2:00...right in the middle of prime nap time.  This is when we got back home.

Even after Dad got up he Zach just couldn't snap out of it.  A day in the sun takes it out of you!
