Nathan started playing soccer a couple weeks ago. He's part of a fun little program where the parents are involved in teaching skills and practicing them with their kids. There's a Master coach who leads us in drills with the kids and she has some people helping her. After about 45 minutes of practice, the kids are divided into teams of 3 and they scrimmage 3-on-3 for about 45 minutes. That's when the parents just stand back and watch, laugh, and shout directions from the sidelines. It's pretty hilarious! The kids have no idea which direction to go and there's no such thing as out-of-bounds. But the kids have fun and that's what matters right?
Aren't they so cute in their little huddle after the game?
Nathan was quite the hustler but didn't score any goals himself. He wanted to, but his teammates did a good job scoring several.
I'm so excited to be a "soccer mom"!
It's kind of a circus act trying to keep track of Jackson on the field at the same time we're helping Nathan with the drills and watching him. Jackson loves running around in the middle of the field, in the middle of everything and playing with the balls and cones.
After a long hard day of playing soccer, this is how Nathan likes to cool off and relax. He pretty much sat there and had us waiting on him hand and foot. He had a drink, lunch and a snack all from the comfort of his chair with his feet soaking in the water. It's so tough to be a 4-year old athlete!
