B is about 2/3 of the way through his first "Season" at soccer shots. I love it mainly because there are no early Saturday morning games and because it's really more in tune with what a three year old needs in soccer. His coach Ziggy leads skill drills, and they play a brief little "game" at the end. (There is pretty much nothing cuter than a bunch of tiny guys doing jumping jacks or running sprints.) Everyone gets a ball, and we do our own orange slices at home. Everyone's happy!
B seems to really be liking it. Because it's still 900 degrees outside, they take frequent water breaks. B is always the first run to make it to the water and the first one back on the field. He's got some hustle and always leaves with bright red cheeks. He's also the shortest one on the field by about a foot. He's just barely three but he's playing with the big guys including his red headed best friend from school, Connor.
Right before they play the game each week they each get to "Score" a goal while everyone chants their name.
He doesn't seem to be overly aggressive or competitive. It'll be interesting to see if that comes out later, but he does love kicking, hitting, running, and doing anything that boys like to do.
