Alex is playing sports for the first time this summer. He just finished t-ball and he starts soccer next week. This is the first time he's ever done any kind of team sport where they actually play games. I'm glad he's doing this program this year because it's the perfect introduction to sports. The first half of the time is practice and the last half is a friendly game.
He seemed to enjoy it, but I'm not sure t-ball is a very good first sport because there's a lot of rules and a lot of standing around waiting for stuff to happen. I'm hoping that soccer makes a little more sense to him.
When he got his team picture and certificate of completion today he was very excited. "Wow!" he said "That was GREAT!" Now he's really looking forward to soccer.
Soccer is pretty funny at this age - the entire team of kids all chase after the ball in one huge group. We did T-ball and Soccer with Rachel when she was this age - Soccer was definitely the more "active" sport!! LOL! I'm holding off until next year for Zach - I think he'll get more out of it in a year than he would right now...
