Soccer

Spring is almost here and soccer just started.  Trenton is again playing FUSE sports at our church.  We really like the atmosphere it provides as sports are first introduced to kids.  Our very own daddy is coaching the team.  Woot!  Woot!  Trenton is beside himself because he wanted that so badly and was even more excited to learn his team was blue, his favorite color.  He's been chanting "Go Lightning!" ever since he found out!  We spent last week buying shin guards, high socks and new soccer balls.  Trenton loved helping Coach Daddy pick out a whistle and prepare for his coaching role.  At this age, the first part of hour is practice with games and drills.  The second half is the game.  They played 4 on 4.  Although it was mostly mad chaos, the boys and girls really loved following Coach Kevin's instructions.  Their favorite was sleeping bear where Kevin appeared to be asleep and then "woke" and ran after them.  The players scurried dribbling the ball.  It was a riot!  Trenton actually surprised us with his dribbling skills.  By the end of day 1, he was doing a fabulous job controlling the ball while also maintaining his normal fast pace.  I think both the players and coach had fun!

 Trenton is super excited that 3 of his classmates (Jack P, Hudson, Anna) are on his team. 
 Full speed ahead! 
 Doing soccer drills and taking a water break!  Awesome job T!
Karen and Les (Opa's brother from Texas) were there to watch Trenton's first game.  What a treat!  We loved the beautiful weather and hanging out together!
 Bennett loved playing around on the field, too.  We're still working on no hands on the ball.  :)
