A little over a month ago, Andy went to sign Luke up for spring soccer. Luke kept going back and forth on whether or not he wanted to play. But, the Saturday morning of sign-ups he said that he wanted to play. So, they went. When they came home Luke was a soccer player and Andy was the coach. One team, the Dragons still needed a coach, so Andy volunteered. When they got home I could just see the excitement in both their eyes... it was wonderful! :) Such a wonderful bonding experience for my boys.
Monday night was the first "Player Development Night" for ALL the U6 players. It was kind of crazy, but Luke jumped right in and did everything. It was super cold outside, so the kids only lasted about 40 minutes. I figured Luke would need some warm pants since it was so cold, so I went and bought him some new ones, and they were too big. Also they had a faux drawstring... who does that? So, most of the night he had his hands in his pockets to keep his pants up... poor little guy. :)
The next day was The Dragons first team practice. Aunt Audra is going to be the assistant coach and Luke just loves that too. She is one of his most favorite people. :) Also, Kaydee and Reagan, our neighbors are on the team as well. They had so much fun at practice. They played a lot of games to help them work on their dribbling. I was quite impressed with some of the kids skills. Luke likes to kick the ball as hard and as far as he can, so he needs to work on his dribbling a bit. :) Andy thinks he'll make a really good defender. 
Here they are playing the game, "I can do something, Can you do it?"
Luke looks like such a natural and I love how much he loves it!! He came home yesterday and wanted to go to soccer practice again.
It is going to be such a fun spring soccer season! I love watching my boys bond playing soccer together. It's great! :)
