Soccer

Liam has been playing soccer this fall.  Soccer was 1 hour every Sunday for 6 weeks.  That hour was broken up into 20-30 minutes of learning how to dribble and control the ball, and then about 20 minutes or so of "game time."  Which really meant 6-10 kids, no goalies (even though that's Liam's favorite position and he insisted on playing it each game), running in all directions kicking (or not kicking) the ball wherever they wanted to.  Quite hilarious! 

It took him a while (and an extra practice with just his friends) to get into it but after 3 practices he was out there running around with the rest of the team.  I think he had issues with a bunch of kids running at him trying to kick his ball away.  It scared him a bit.  But when they split the team into smaller groups for the "games," he was ok--smaller groups = happy Liam.  It helped that he had 2 friends on his team.  I don't know if we'll continue soccer but it was fun for a while :)
