Soccer





 Owen, looking cute before soccer.

This week Eliza has 4 soccer sessions.  There is a "coach", who gives the parents drills to do with the child.  It's very self-directed and teaches foundational skills.
We thought a storm might cancel soccer, but the skies cleared and we headed out.

Owen helped Eliza get her equipment.

Warm ups

Toe touches are not that easy to teach.

Learning to trap the ball.

It's hard not to use those hands.

"Let me out!  I want to play soccer!"




It was really hot and humid, and at this point Eliza needed a pep talk to keep going.



Playing with sticks might be more fun.
We'll give it another try tomorrow.
