Soccer Star

We signed Will up to play fall soccer which is his first time playing in the town league.   He is so excited to play and the first thing he wants to do when he wakes up on Sunday morning is get dressed in his soccer uniform despite the fact that the game isn't until 1pm.   Eric is one of the coaches for the team, however, there's not much coaching done at the 4 year old level.  It's more of managing the tears and the half time oranges.  :-)

I will say that watching 4 years olds play soccer is quite entertaining.  There are 10 kids on the field at a time, 5 on each team.  And at any given point during the game, all 10 kids are huddled around the ball running up and down the field.  There's not concept of positions at this level.  It's every man for himself.  

Here are a few pictures from one of Will's game.  

Will and his friend Kieran
I think Will just enjoys running up and down the field more than actually kicking the ball.
Will and Coach Daddy
Go Will!


Everyone huddled around the ball.
