First Soccer Practice

I will be the first to tell you that I know NOTHING about this sport, I should have picked up 'Soccer for Dummies' or something similar to review the rules to this game...so far it appears there is a lot of running back and forth and attempts at kicking which result in many kids laying on their butts in the middle of the field after missing the ball completely.



Here is Davis warming up before practice. Let me state that this is Davis' first 'team' sport which he seems to be doing well at.
Some tips from dad?

Davis is in the navy shirt...checking out the competition...


If you look closely you will notice the confused look on Davis' face...his face looked like this most of the practice. The coach used a lot of words Davis had never heard. I signed him up as a beginner but most of the other kids on the team have played before.




He found a friend named Carlie and he sticks with her most practices.




Beside Carlie...see a theme?


While brother was practicing soccer little sister got in some swing time with Grandaddy...

Love the new blog look! Davis can come over for some tutoring anytime! Most of my input for Jonah goes in one ear and out the other. I am also glad to see that my son is not the only one who is gravitating towards the ladies! :)

I am right there with you. I don't know much about the sport. Davis does look like a natural though And so cute (no wonder the ladies love him). I love the last picture of Morgan and her Grandpa!
