Ian's first soccer practice

Ian has decided he wants to play soccer. We were told that Plano Sports Authority has a great program set up, so we signed him up. He was suppose to have his first practice last Thursday, but we had snow still on the ground and it was only suppose to get up to 33 degrees on that day. Thus, Ian's first practice was postponed till this afternoon (which, by the way, was sunny and 68 degrees!)

I didn't know what to expect, but honestly, what can you do with a bunch of co-ed 3 year olds that haven't ever played soccer.

The first lesson - Do not use your hands.

Surprisingly, only one child seemed to really have a hard time with this one.

The next lesson - How to dribble. Ian did pretty well at this one, but he just needs to speed it up a bit.

Last lesson for the day - How to shoot. The method here was to just tell the kids to kick REALLY hard. Ian did pretty well on this one, but I think the smaller nets made him be a little more cautious.

Oh, and of course, they learned their team name and cheer......Soccer Dinos!
