Off to a Fantastic Start

Last fall all three kids played soccer, and for every Saturday in September and October you could find our family at the local soccer fields from 9-3. It was a great experience for Sam and Emily, and quite rocky for Rebecca. So much so we debated about even giving her the option of signing up for Spring soccer ... it's rough to start playing a sport at the age of 7 when most of the other kids are playing for the 2nd and 3rd year. But on the day of the last game, she asked GR seven different times if she could play again in the Spring... and so all three kids are playing on three different teams. I am amazed and oh so proud at their improvement over last season, they have worked hard and it shows.

I'm going to have to email you about this. The boy started soccer this year and we've run into a few "i hate soccer and never want to play again" moment, would love to know if you had those and how you solved them.

Isn't it a bummer that by the time they are 7 so many kids have already been playing the sport forever? We have run into that alot.
