Spring Soccer

Garrett was so excited to finish up his basketball class so that he could start playing soccer. He was going to be on a team coached by a guy in our ward with his best little friends Gage and Micah...But, his birthday was ONE day past the deadline! ONE DAY! Oh well...I never told him the part about his friends playing with him.

We were able to get him in another class, and he had a blast with soccer!! We did the Smart Start program which was perfect for this little guy! Moms and Dads get to teach their children the basics of the sport all in preparation for the BIG GAME...


The class started in April...COLD!!! And ended in May...HOT!!! Garrett learned about kicking, trapping, and throwing in and the most important rule of soccer...NO HANDS!!!

It took a few goals for the kids to realize that they had to kick the ball in the goal box to score! So much fun! Garrett is an awesome player because 1) He has a lot of aggression, 2) He is not afraid of much, and 3) He loves learning new skills! I think that he was a little sad after the last day. He really liked soccer and ended up having a lot of other friends!
