Soccer

I heard about a soccer class through Riverton City and thought that would be a great way to introduce Collin to sports.  He's somewhat of a perfectionist and likes to be in control.  So we thought throwing him into a sport on a team might be an extra challenge.  Plus this way he can learn some soccer skills before just playing the game!  It started in April and for 6 weeks there was a class every Wednesday evening.  They asked parents to attend to help the kids practice the skills, so Greg went every week.  Tate and I went one week in May to take pictures.  I was surprised how quickly Collin had picked up the skills they worked on!

He was really good at dribbling.  

And he kept an eye on the goal so he knew when to kick it in!

Then they practiced shooting at the goal.  The two girls are friends of ours, Hailey and Lindsay.  

Again, Collin was pretty good!  He could get his ball to go in the direction of the goal and most times it went in.  Sometimes he didn't kick it hard enough so it wouldn't make it to the goal, but almost all the times it was heading there!

It was really windy.  Made Tate's eyes water.  

The two men in blue and green were his coaches.  They were SO patient with all the kids!

Then they practiced throwing into hula hoop targets.  Again, Collin surprised me!  He wasn't even too upset when he'd miss a hoop!

Need to work on keeping a foot down...

After class the kids get a snack, then we played on the playground.

Collin loves soccer!  He excited to play on a team this summer!
