Saturday morning: Game Day! Today is game 2 for both Donovan and David. Donovan hasn't showed quite the same enthusiasm and natural prowess for the game as David but he still loves to be out there with the other kids. With a few helpful hints Donovan is off...
And how does he play soccer, just go where the other kids are going. They must know something important.
Well, he's still getting the nack of it. Maybe we'll have to practice a little more.
Aleky is still excited about the game. He's there cheering on his big brothers.
David's team was a little slow showing up for the pre-game practice so David got a little one-on-one coaching. A litte dribbling practice and goal shooting accuracy practice. Of course we're just here to watch the games!
David's team this year is quite an athletic group. Last year he stood out at the active athlete. So far, he's just one of the crowd. But this is a great break away moment in the game.
The coach is working on some of the more advanced aspect of the game. This game's emphasis: passing the ball to a team mate.
And just what are kids supposed to do when it isn't their turn to play. Keep an eye on the ball and discover the other team's weaknesses so that you can exploit them and score lots of goals!
We're pretty fortunate this season to have both boys games at the same soccer field and generally the same times. But we're a little concerned about any subsequent seasons and practice/game scheduling.
