Soccer Dayz

In case you didn't know... This year John has started playing soccer!! In a League! I volunteered to be his coach and it has been a BLAST so far! He is actually very good at soccer and the skills they are teaching me to teach his team have been helping all the little boys LEARN to play soccer. Up until now I never thought that was possible with 4 year olds.....LOL

Every practice I have to be there a half hour before the other parents and kids to learn the skills to teach that day. Sometimes they are very hard concepts but the kids always seem to be able to do them! Sometimes my partner team's coaches and I will modify the "games" a little bit just to break it down easier for 4 year olds LOL! It is loads of for me as well and I am learning a little bit of soccer too! Which is great cause before this I knew nothing!! hahaha!! :)

John loves soccer and I think he is enjoying this special time with me. With Jason taking up a lot of my time at home, I wanted something to do with my little John that was special, just the two of us. This is a great activity because I can support and encourage him while he gets some healthy exercise and also learns to play a sport!! :) I'm not sure if I'll always volunteer to be his coach but I will defiantly encourage soccer as long as he's into it!! :)
