On Saturday Tyler finally started 5-year-old soccer. They all gathered and got their shirts and balls and then began "practice". I use that term loosely, because in addition to some stretches they also did duck-duck-goose and various other silly drills. They had fun though. For the "game" they just broke into two teams (one wearing pinnies) and got started. My mom said they always referred to 5-year-old soccer as "bunch ball" because all the kids kinda just run for the ball in a huddle. In Tyler's defense they never really explained the concept of the game, so he didn't really ever fight for the ball. He kinda just followed the pack of kids. He did enjoy himself quite a bit though, which is all that matters. Hopefully, if we keep working with him, he'll get a bit more aggressive. He did finally touch the ball though during the game, so he didn't do terribly.
We got a pretty good reminder though that these kids are all 5 years old when they all play suddenly ceased to view the ladybug that someone found on the field. Talk about priorities. LOL!
Anyway, on with the pictures....
