Soccer goals
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
Jack has been asking to play a sport for many, many months. His older friends are involved with soccer, baseball, tennis, Tae Kwon Do and gymnastics. Most of these activities require being a certain age. Finally, Jack has reached the magical age of Four. This week begins the registration process for Soccer. I think it’s a great sport to start my little guy on. He likes to run around the back yard and demonstrate his skills. I can’t wait to see him out on the field.
I’ve heard from other friends/parents that it’s quite amusing to watch the little guys/gals play their first game. I remember watching my nephew play in a soccer game and all ten players ended up trying to kick the ball at the same time. The players would stay in their huddle and run from one goal down to the next goal trying to score a point. It was comical to say the least.
Signing Jack up for soccer is another milestone in his life. Also, another one in mine. Practices, games and carpooling are just beginning. My main goals for Jack are to learn about teamwork and sportsmanship (and having fun, of course). Having a good attitude will get you far in life.
