So finally, Luke experienced his first team sport. This past weekend, the weather was nice, and he played in his first Soccer Match... well "Played" is the operative word.
This is from his first practice. It was pretty cold that day, back at the beginning of March, so they practiced inside. Coach Brad started out with a little team pow-wow...
then Coach Brad showed Luke the fundamentals of "dribbling" the soccer ball.
Game Day... March 31, 2012
Before leaving for the game(s), I got a picture of Father & Son... Coach & Player. Marc is also involved in the Upward Soccer program - he coaches one of the older teams, the Monarch's.
Luke plays for the Kings, which is for 4 and 5 year olds. The Upward system does a really great job at putting teams together that has a good variety of skill level, so some of his teammates also played last year.
Luke and his BFF Lucas, are all lined up. waiting for the whistle to blow and for play to begin.
Get Ready, Get Set, GOOOOO.......
He got right in there...
going All Out!!
Still chasing the ball (he's #3)...
He must really Love it, look at that Adorable Smile!
Out of all the players on both teams, Luke is the TINIEST.
Now he's starting to show his true self... not really all that interested, but after the game he explained to us his dis-interest. He thinks he's too slow to play.
"Luke, you're going the wrong way!!"
"Luke, what are you looking at? The Ball is in front of you!!"
Team line up for "Good Game" slaps!
Not sure if Luke is really going to be into sports, but WE SURE ARE PROUD OF HIM!!!
And he is Definitely NOT to Slow... He's SUPER FAST!!!!
