saturday morning soccer practice

Coach Ashley is focused on teaching the kids take simple instructions at this point. For warm up they play red light, yellow light, green light, then they run around in a big circle until she says "freezer" (stop) or "heater" (go). They practice kicking the ball against the wall and "wake up Fred" a little mouse that sleeps in the wall.

Aiden finds it very difficult to stay on task when there's tons of balls being kick around and kids running around on the adjacent field.


Bobba goes to soccer practice with us sometimes. Aiden enjoys having the extra attention and is happy to show Bobba his soccer skills.

Aiden works up an appetite during practice so we have a new tradition of going out to lunch right after practice.

  1. Aiden you little kicker you...I love a man in unifrom!

    You remind me of your Daddy and how he loved to run and kick the ball. Keeping control of it will take practice and you have a good eye and learn quickly. Being on a team is very, very important and always trying your best.

    Soccer is one of my favorite sports to watch and I can't wait to go to one of your games and cheer for you from the stands.

    Kick, kick, kick and run, run, run and fun, fun, fun!
