Soccer Season
We bit the bullet this year and put Mimi and Buddy into the city run soccer league. The "season" was only during the month of September. Their team focused on the basic skills of soccer, and listening to a coach. They scrimmaged a few times. The first time ended in a dogpile. It was hard not to laugh as the coaches pulled one kid after another off the pile, explaining the whole time how it's important to be nice and not tackle in soccer.
The final day of practice was winter-like. I was sure they would cancel due to rain, but was totally wrong...it turned into snow and they still didn't cancel. But I guess they had to hand out the medals and pictures, as well as the treats. Mimi was in full out rebellion by about five minutes into practice, "It's too cold! I'm freezing! I hate soccer!" I guess that's why she told me that next year she doesn't want to play soccer, but would rather (drumroll please) learn how to ice skate! LOL!
When asked what their favorite part of soccer was here are their answers;
Buddy "JUMPING-JACKS!"
Mimi "Nothing!"
Sweetsa loved being there on the field with the "big kids" and she was pretty good at dribbling the ball around.

That sounds like a lot of fun (minus the snow). Do you think Buddy will try it again next year? Love the pictures!
Those are some great pictures!! I hope Mimi finds some extra curricular activity that she loves. Soccer's not for everyone :) Glad buddy enjoyed the warm up!
so much fun!!
Those pictures make me so cold. I'm glad half of your kids loved it!

That's so fun that they get to play soccer. It's different seeing them in warm clothes in Utah, while it's still hot in Buffalo. Crazy. We'll have to play when we come in Dec.
What fun. Even if its a wee bit cold.
