After several rainy Sundays, we finally started Sunday Soccer this past Sunday. Z was so excited! He kept asking Is today soccer? When’s my soccer game? We were pretty excited too. Nick had already taken him to buy new gear and had been practicing some with him in the yard. He was dressed and ready to go a good hour before we had to leave!
The past couple of seasons he has requested to be on the red team, and it’s really a get what you get kindof system, so we’ve been purple once and green twice, so you can imagine the excitement when they handed us a red shirt, oh and Z was pretty happy too ;).
He’s in the U5 league this season, even though technically he still qualifies for U4. He was noticeably bigger than the rest of his team in the Fall (and a parent made a couple of comments about it, which I think is hilarious). Besides, without fail at least one kid in the U4 league would cry every week and not because he or she got hit or pushed, but because they just didn’t feel like getting on the field, or their shoes didn’t feel right or they were hungry or thirsty or had to go potty. I know, they’re 3 and 4 year olds, but we were ready to get a little more serious… (insert soccer mom joke here).
The kids do seem to know what’s going on a lot more, and we have really organized coaches, but there is still pretty much one kid that does all the scoring, and unfortunately for us, that kid was on the other team…
He may not have scored the most goals, but he definitely had the best cheering section!
Lu slept through the game at home with Nunna, but I’m sure she’ll be joining the cheering section soon.
