Soccer

Allie has been off and on about playing soccer. Some days she wants to sign up, and other days, not so much. So through our local parks and rec department they have Just For Kicks soccer camps, so we thought we would start with this. Tuesday was her first session and it was lots of fun. When she was getting ready to go, she was a little grumpy because she did not have anything that was "sporty enough". Usually when we want her to wear "sporty" stuff she says she "looks like a boy". Once we got on our "sporty clothes" we were ready to rock and roll.

Allison wanted to be early (as always) so Geoff, Allison and Paige practiced before the real deal. It was fun to watch them! It was cool to see both girls run and kick the ball. I wish I would have had my zoom lens..some are pretty far away.

The group is 4-5 year olds, and most have never played before. The coach is a senior at UC Davis and she is awesome. There was a big boy who was 7 and he was a little intimidating when they scrimmaged  so Allie had a few tears, but all and all had a good time.  She even scored a goal at the end!! Grandma and Paka were there to cheer her on too. We look forward to next weeks session.
