People have been telling us, probably since Bo could walk, that we needed to get him into soccer. He loves it and he is very athletic, this makes daddy a very happy man! We finally signed him up for an indoor soccer class called Li’l Kickers. He is in the “Hoppers” class of 3 & 4 year olds. Yesterday was his first morning and it is quite possibly one of the cutest things I’ve ever watched him do. It took him a little while to get the hang of it. Some of the kids had been in other classes before so as he watched them and his coaches he got it. I was very impressed with the class and how they are actually teaching skills to the kids, it’s not just organized chaos with a bunch of kids chasing balls. They do warm up exercises, then do drills, and eventually get to really kick the ball, which is all Bo was concerned about! Bo didn’t quite grasp the concept of “little kicks” but eventually he got it. They aren’t allowed to touch the ball with their hands, can only use their feet which was hysterical watching these kids try to figure out how to do that. All of the parents were cracking up laughing the entire time and you were constantly hearing moms and dads saying “little kicks” and “don’t use your hands”. It’s an 8 week session every Saturday morning at 10:00am, I can’t wait to see him progress, I know he’s going to do great. Here are a few pictures…I couldn’t get great pictures because I was either trying to shoot through glass or a net. The bottom pictures I took with my phone and aren’t very clear but it’s the best I could do. Oh and the new kid’s uniforms are on backorder we’ll have them next time so don’t worry…he’ll have a uniform!
At the end they got to knock over all the cones by kicking the balls…this was the kids favorite part!
