The boys played soccer this fall and it was so fun to see them play a team sport. We moved to a new town in September and in an effort to try out some local community based programs we signed up for Kids Love Soccer. When the kids were three, we participated in a mommy and me Kids Love Soccer program and had a great time but the boys have not played on a rec team by themselves. The major selling point for this program was that it took place within walking distance of our house and it was a Saturday morning event so Chris could watch them play. The kids had a great time and really enjoyed playing. I have no idea if soccer is in their future but I can say that they improved over the course of the three months and were able to get a feel for what it is like to play a real game.
One memorable moment happened when the boys were doing face offs with an opponent. The coaches lined up the kids on opposite sides of the field and when the whistle blew, they were supposed to run into the center, get the ball and score a goal. Brady ran out and fought with his opponent for over two minutes until he was eventually victorious! It was a very slow and somewhat hilarious battle but he was eventually the winner. Brody on the other hand, ran out, was the first to the ball, turned, and kicked it into the goal from mid field. Both scenarios were very exciting and fun to watch!
