Soccer Tryouts

This weekend we decided to put David back in Soccer.  It has been a year since he first started and he needs something where he follows directions.
So, we moved from Soccer Tots, where he was a Soccer cub, over to Lil' Kickers where we tried out the Cottontail class.  We chose this class where he would be the youngest thinking it would challenge him a bit more and keep him focused.

After about 25 minutes, where Greg was constantly redirecting, David began to yell he wanted to go home.  And so that ended out Cottontails class.  It could have been a little slow paced, or that Angie had David with her at Stroller Strides before class, or it was just too hard, regardless we left half way in.
So, Sunday after church we raced home and changed David into his soccer clothes.  He ate lunch in the car and we headed back to Lil' Kickers for the Thumper's class.  He was one of the oldest, it was much more his speed, and he had a great time!

David is an official Thumper and should received his Lil' Kickers uniform soon!

  1. The names of the classes are cute. I'm glad the thumper class went well. What happened in the last picture of the cottontail class? It looks like he did a flip!
