Miss D had her first genuine soccer game today. 8 four-year-olds on one field is a sight to behold, let me tell you! After a rocky start (our 4 girls stood on the field and watched the other team kick the ball right by them without so much as moving) their coach got them into the swing of things and they wound up winning by 5 goals to 2!
Our girls ran really hard, played nicely, and listened well to their coach. I love this format they use for the littles... 4 on 4 on a small field with one coach from each team on the field with them to help them figure out how to play the game.
Miss D was so excited to play. After the first couple of goals, she got the idea and started jumping up and down and cheering each time the Butterflies scored. One poor little girl on our team got a little upset when the coach told her to take the ball away from a girl on the other team -- she came off the field and told her mama that it wasn't nice to take things away! I guess 4 years of telling them to be nice and share and take turns makes it confusing for them when they get on the soccer field! LOL!
Miss D did not score a goal this time, though she wants to. She did get to do one throw-in and she got the ball a few times and advanced it down the field in the right direction. The girls look like a good strong team, and more importantly they had a blast out there!
M-Moo and K-Wiggles also enjoyed cheering on the team!
Goooooooo Butterflies!
