Soccer has started!

OK I had no idea how much fun I would have watching soccer. I thought, take my chair out and watch Jason run around. Well I shocked myself because there I was yelling on the sidelines. Oh my. I did much better the second time, managed to stay in my seat. Jason is a natural at soccer. I think primarily because he loves to run. And in soccer you can be running all the time. Sometimes we will be leaving Aunt Ruth's house and Jason will be unhappy about going home and I will say you want to run, and off he will go, full speed for two blocks. When he was three and we watched some of the Olympics he said he wanted to be the fastest runner in the world. He has been doing that since he was three. Well soccer is about speed. And Jason can run.

First day they learned throw ins and how to kick the ball.

They also learned to stand on the ball when they are waiting. I think its for posing!

Then they played. Its great at this age because they show up do a couple drills and play for 30 minutes. They also play three on three, so even when they are all going for the ball at the same time, its not very crowed.

Jason scored the first goal for his team that day. He was very proud of himself.


The next practice/game they did warm ups. Doesn't look much like soccer, looks more like football. Jason has a hard time doing warm ups at first. I dont think he knows what to make of it all.

Jason out in front.

Jason in the pack....

He breaks out...

Getting by the defender!

And the crowd goes wild! OK just his mom goes wild!
