Since Avery enjoyed soccer so much last summer, we all decided she should try it again this year. But instead of a clinic, she’ll play games…as much as little 4-year-olds can play “real” soccer games. She’s playing in the soccer league at our church. Nothing too competitive and hopefully no crazy soccer parents!
Chris took the leap into coaching. Long before Avery was born, he always said that he wanted to coach our kids when they were ready to play sports. Let’s see how this season goes before we talk about any more coaching adventures!
The first practice was this week. Before everyone else arrived, Avery already started making a new friend in Addie. This girl is much taller than Avery and very talented. Maybe some of that coordination will rub off on Avery!
The good news is there are only six kids on the team. The games will be 3v3 without goalies.
Chris ran through several drills to teach the kids the fundamentals of soccer. They were all very cooperative. And only a few times did they pick up the ball with their hands.
Then they ended the practice with a scrimmage.
