Soccer Tots- oh what fun!

Elic just finished his first season of Soccer Tots and LOVED every minute of it! I am so glad that he is now old enough to try a few classes and not just have to watch Bubba do everything. The whole family watched his last lesson. It's neat to see him be with kids his own age. He really listened to the coach, tried hard and had a great time.


It was an added perk that his friend Carter was in class with him.
Holden attended every class with me and never really understood why he couldn't play the games the older kids were playing.
SCORE!
I thought all the fine motor drills were so fun that we purchased cones and hula hoops so we can do them in our own backyard. We learned that Elic is left footed- kinda different. He hasn't chosen a dominate hand yet, so we're waiting to see if we could possibly have a left handed pitcher in the family.
For being 3, he really has great ball control (gets it from his daddy who played soccer for ACU).
Nana came to cheer on Elic, too.
What kid doesn't love to be told to kick cones down? Each class was so age appropriate and fun that we just had to sign him up for another session.
We closed the class with an awards ceremony. Each kid ran to the podium and received their medal.


I think this is just the beginning of Elic's athletic career. We can already tell he has a passion for sports. He'd much rather be outside kicking the ball or throwing around a baseball then inside playing with action figures or watching TV. That's fine with us because we're gonna need all the scholarships we can get by the time college comes around!
