Today Kenny played the Maroon team in his soccer league. It was his first game, and he had a lot of fun. His team won 7-2, and Kenny played quite a bit. He even got an assist for a goal, and played really strong in defense. This was an excellent way to start, and fun was had by all.
Some of the mid-game action…..
In the pictures below, I am getting instructions from the coach, and taking a free kick. There is a lot to learn, but it has been a lot of fun so far!
Directions from coach.

It was a perfect day for playing, with the temperature being 72 at kickoff. The game was fast-paced, and was a great learning experience. In fact, the most important lesson was how to play with others. At the end of the game, we had snacks with the second graders. You can see we shook hands with the other team at the end of the game, as they were a lot of fun to play with.
