Soccer Success

My soccer boys.

Robb coaching


Caleb's really getting into the game.

Today Bryce and Caleb had their first soccer practice. They have been looking forward to it for weeks now. Robb agreed to coach, really for the sole purpose of convincing Caleb to play after the bad basketball experience. Robb has been reading up on soccer and practicing different games with the boys to find ones that will work for their age.
We met the rest of the team at the soccer fields for practice at 10:30. A couple years made a huge difference in how soccer went! Last time they played all the kids were nervous or crying and clinging to their parents. This time all the little boys got out on the field with the exception of one kid that hung out on the sidelines for a while. They were all anxious to play the games and practice the skills that Robb was teaching them.
It was really fun to watch Robb coach. He did a great job and it looked like everyone had a great time. They practiced for a majority of the hour and the last 15 minutes they had a scrimmage with one of the other teams. No goals were made during the scrimmage but they did a good job following the ball and trying to get it away from the other team. It should be fun to see how their first game goes. I was SO proud of the boys for going out there and listening good while their dad coached. It was so fun to see them playing a team sport!
