Awesome Soccer Skills

So Cleod has had a few soccer games and it's hilarious and painful to watch. Four year old boys are crazy. Some of the boys on his team are way into playing and scoring. There is one boy who is a space-cadet and picks grass half the time. Cleod is a little bit of both.


Actually, the more he plays the more he's interested he is in soccer. He's knows which way to kick the ball but he doesn't always kick it. It's like he's thinking about it and then someone else kicks it. But the more comfortable he gets, the crazier he is with his teammates. It's frustrating for me but I just have to remember that he's 4 and he's having fun.

This is the basis of the whole game. Kick the ball, everyone get in a hundle and kick whatever, wherever. If you happen to get near a net, try to score. Most of the time they just kick the ball out of bounds. It's so funny! The coach will say, "Guard a guy" and they just keep running after the ball. At half-time last game I asked Cleod if he knew what his coach meant and he was clueless. It was adorable!

What a kick!!!

This shot makes him look like a pro! SO CUTE! (Oh and his socks are hiked up above his shorts. He likes it that way.)
