3 year old soccer


Okay, I know what you're thinking...really, 3 year olds playing soccer? Well, it's true, but I use the term "playing" very, very loosely. Alex had his first practice today with his team which ranges from 3 year olds to 7 year olds, boys and girls. They have 6 players on a team, no goalie, and no score keeping. It's really just to introduce them to the game. And, I have to say, Alex LOVED it! He ran, he kicked, he scored, and he stood on the field looking a little lost, too. He has his first game on Saturday, so we'll be there to cheer him on!


The "huddle". They were working really hard on picking a team name. Alex wanted the Tigers, but Lydia wanted the Kitties. I'm not sure who won.


The looking a little lost part of the practice.


Now he's got the hang of it.


Reed cheers him on from the sidelines.

The picture of Alex "lost" is hysterical!

I love Reed getting lost in the goal. Can't wait to send Jack out to the soccer fields!
