At the last minute I signed up J for summer soccer. He wanted to do it and I needed an activity for him - to keep him busy and wear him out. We signed up with some of the same people he play spring soccer with, but the team did not have a coach. Four days before the 1st game W was roped into being the coach. W didn't play organized soccer as a kid and he has never coached. He was a little nervous but then he figured they players are 4 year olds so it couldn't be too hard.
J says his favorite thing about soccer is that Daddy is his coach. W has really liked being the coach and says it actually a lot of fun. J is pretty good at soccer. It helps that he's tall for his age and he's at the older end of his age bracket (3/4 year olds). Uncle Ph was visiting the weekend of J's first games (they had a double header) and he told J that if he scored a goal Daddy would buy him a Slurpee. Well, the 5 of us all got Slurpees because J ended up scoring 5 goals between the 2 games.
Summer soccer in Texas isn't the brightest idea but we had a lot of fun!
