Spring Soccer

With the long winter we had we needed to find a way for James to void himself of some of his energy when it was still too cold and wet to be playing outside each evening.  Matt noted an indoor soccer league for 3-5 year olds up at the rec center near our house for six weeks starting in March and we signed him up!

James enjoyed the pace of soccer ... as the kid loves to run!  So we think it was a good fit for him.  Teaching him to only use his feet to control the ball was a challenge but he got the hang of it after a few weeks.  Just as with hockey and t-ball we've discovered he's a left-footed kicker too. 

Henry was disappointed he wasn't allowed to play - we brought him with the first week or two to watch but he wanted to be part of the action and kept running out onto the gym floor ... needless to say one of us stayed home with him for the remaining sessions as he was a handful to keep track of and keep out of the area of play!  Hopefully he can participate next year himself.

James enjoyed soccer and was sad to see it end last month - but I'd imagine it won't be long before he asks when he gets to go again!
