First Day of Soccer

Today was Caleb's first day of soccer. The first half is spent doing drills with their coaches. The team has been divided into four sub-teams of four kids each. There is one main coach who coordinates everything and four assistant coaches, each with their own team. The second half is a mini-game where the teams play each other jamboree style.

Caleb did amazing!!! Lee and I are very proud of him. He loved playing soccer and did great participating with the other kids. He even kicked the ball during the game portion! He really enjoyed the day.
Coach Lee in action! He has a sweet team of four adorable little boys. It is so fun watching all of them.
We watched some of the World Cup a few months back. Caleb thinks that falling down is part of the game from watching soccer on TV. Today, he would spontaneously fall down on the field and pretend that he was in the World Cup. He did this several times and was the only child to be randomly rolling around on the ground. Not our proudest moment, but it was pretty funny to watch.
After the game, the boys got coupons for free hot dog lunches. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their lunch.
Technically, today was the "jamboree" which was an introductory game and when uniforms were passed out. The regular season starts next week and Caleb is very excited that he will get to wear his uniform then. It is proudly hanging in his closet.

In all, Caleb shows more soccer potential than his daddy who was known for picking dandelions on the field when he played as a child.
