Ellie had her first season of soccer this fall, with Daddy as the coach. Papa Mike helped out Jason on the sidelines and with practices - they both said it was like wrangling cats. Jason was a great coach with the girls...very patient, very playful, and still managed to impart a few basic soccer skills.
Even though at this age group they don't keep score, our Green Machine team was pretty good. We had a couple of girls that were really good little ball handlers. However, Ellie's main focus at the games was socializing, and there were many times when the parents were yelling for the girls to turn around and watch the ball rather than tickling each other and giggling. Max attended all the practices and games with us, and loved every minute of it - maybe even more so than Ellie.
I'm sure we'll be playing soccer for many years to come.
