Soccer Cubs

I have a marked lack of athleticism in my gene pool. Despite participating in gymnastics as a child, and later being a cheerleader and member of the track team, coordination & stamina are not my strong suits. It does not appear that Big Sis inherited my lack of athletic ability, and she can actually run and kick a ball at the same time, so we thought it might be a good idea to start her on team sports now. Saturday was our first day of Soccer Cubs.

Before we even had a chance to check her in she grabbed someone's soccer ball & started kicking it all over the field.

There are 6 members of the Purple Lollipops.

She follows instructions very well.

Mini drill

They had a 3 on 3 mini-scrimmage against the Green Gumdrops, and here she's on her way to scoring her first goal.

Unfortunately, she scored for the other team & here she's getting hollered at by #1. Good thing they don't keep score. She handles the ball pretty well for her age, but we need to work on getting her to be a little more aggressive on the field.
