Go Green Lions! Drew's First Soccer Game

Drew in his spiffy Green jersey getting ready for his first soccer game!

3 and 4 year olds playing soccer is HILARIOUS! They have no concept of which goal is theirs, out of bounds, or how to play defense. The kids took turns playing goalie and he would get mad when they would run passed him out of bounds instead of trying to kick the ball towards him in the goal. The kids would be so excited about kicking the ball, they forgot about the goal! They don't keep score, but I don't think anyone scored anyways.

They play 4 quarters at 6 minutes each. Drew wasn't quite sure the first half and didn't want to play very much. One time he actually got the ball and was kicking it towards his goal very slowly and no one was trying to steal it from him! He was doing so good! One quarter he played goalie and daddy stayed close to help him focus.

The game was really guided with the coaches and referee on the field trying to help the kids go the right direction, stay focused, and have fun!

Enjoying his post game gatorade!

After the game, we stopped by Burger King for a bite to eat.

First Day of Soccer Practice

On our way to the first soccer practice

At first Drew got mad because someone else was using his ball. Eventually he got over it and learned to share and use other soccer balls. Tony stayed out on the field most of the time and they both had a great time! Drew's coach did a GREAT job. She is a preschool teacher and did a lot with the kids, kept their attention and made it a lot of fun for them.

Before long Drew was out having fun and running drills with his teammates.

He did such a great job!

Look at Drew go!

Jillian was perfectly content sitting on the sidelines with me. She sat blowing drool bubbles and trying to chew on the camera.

Happy Boy after practice!
