So some of the people in our neighborhood have put together a little soccer ‘league’ (for lack of a better word) for kids 5 and under.  Basically it’s just a chance to introduce the kids to the game and do some fun games with their soccer balls.  They don’t have uniforms or games or anything like that.  They don’t even pretend play soccer at this point.   This Saturday was our first trip to the soccer field.  Unfortunately we arrived a little late and of course Emilia wanted nothing to do with it.  She did however LOVE wearing her matching Liga jersey with her Papa.

example: the kids are doing some drill where they run and kick the ball in to one of the nets.  emilia wasn’t interested, so instead she was playing on the sidelines with marcus.

by no means do i think my child has amazing soccer skills, but she does dribble the ball pretty well.  could be all those nights playing ‘gol’ with Papa in the playroom are paying off!

another drill – it doesn’t look like it but they were running from one end of the field to the other kicking the ball.

Looove it!! FYI, Harris offers a soccer "clinic" for 3-y-o. Fall registration starts 7/1. I can't wait to see all our "babies" running around and dribbling soccer balls!!

How fun...I'm sure Marcus is excited about his girls being a good dribbler...congrats by the way for making it to the end of your challenge...and keeping it going for that matter.
