Soccer

Kaylen is again playing on a U9 rec team. A couple members from her team moved on to academy, but most of her team remained the same. She’s enjoying having fun with it. Her team practices two nights a week, and some weeks they have an additional “professional-led” clinic that is optional, where they practice with all the U9-U12 rec teams. She has a game every Saturday morning for 8 weeks. This year is the first year that they travel for games, so they’re not just against a team within their club. This makes things interesting when you have two playing soccer the same day!

Elijah is playing soccer this fall as well. He’s playing on the city parks & rec league. It’s indoor for preschoolers. They meet on 6 Saturdays for one hour each – 15 minutes to practice, then a 45-minute game. He’s only made the first game so far, as we were on vacation for his second and third games. He has three left, and I hope to make it to at least one of them. From Jock’s review of the first game, he seems to have a little better handle on what he’s supposed to do than he did last year.

I hope to get a few pictures of the soccer activities posted in the next few weeks.
