It's time for soccer!
While we are well into the soccer season, here are some pics from Landon's first game. We signed him up for AYSO soccer and Mike volunteered to be an assistant coach. Well, they were in need of additional coaches, so they asked Mike if he was willing to be a head coach instead. Of course, Mike said, "Yes." He is working hard and is doing an amazing job! Plus, Landon thinks it's pretty awesome that his Dad is the coach. Our team is named the "Thunderbirds" and we have 5 players on our team. In the pics, you will only see 4 players because one player wasn't able to make the first game.
Our cute little Thunderbird.
Coach Daddy!
The team (minus Aidan).
GOAL!!!
(okay, not really...haha ;-)
Before each game, there is a UK coach that teaches the children soccer skills through fun games/activities.
After the UK coach leaves, the two teams play a game. The goal is for the children to have fun, so the teams don't keep score.
Some team building with Coach Newman after the game.
Then, the teams line up and give each other high fives.
A cool treat after the game on a VERY hot day!
Ahhhhh...refreshing!
Outtake!!
I know, I made it look like all of the children were engaged all of the time, but they are just 4 and 5 years old. I love this pic! Yes, this pic was taken during the game...Landon and Vincent were just hanging out in the soccer net. Some of the children (Landon included) were also running around chasing a dragonfly and Landon was running along the sideline waving to all his fans. Honestly, they are adorable!
I know this isn't the best pic, but Mike snapped this pic on a different day with all 5 players. Such sweet boys!
