Soccer season has officially begun as we spent our first night on the pitch with Isabelle's 4-5 year old team. This year Mommy and Daddy are not just spectators though, as both have volunteered to coach. Mommy is at the helm for Isabelle's Team Lime Green on Thursday nights, and Daddy has the reins on Oliver's Team Purple on Saturday afternoons. It may look easy, but you try coming up with enough activities to keep 3 to 5 year olds interested and engaged for up to an hour! The best part is that this soccer league is all about fun, so that's all we need to focus on every week. We do drills and play fun schoolyard games, incorporating the soccer throughout, then a quick little friendly scrimmage to wrap things up at the end. It's awesome for kids and with Isabelle's 3rd year playing and with her attending both Acorn and First Avenue, she will know someone every night we go. Even Oliver had his best bud Jack playing on Isabelle's night. Seeing as he is there and loves to play, Oliver has become an honorary member of his sister's team, so he gets 2 soccer outings a week! We love this league and it's such a great way to share in the community, get outdoors and enjoy the springtime. It all winds up by Canada Day so we will have the rest of summer to try other new activities. For now, we expect to keep having fun week in and week out, something this sporty family surely won't have a problem with!
