Time for Soccer!

Last week as I walked onto the soccer fields for the first time, I saw my future flash before my eyes. SPORTING EVENTS!!! I have a feeling this will be my life for the next 17 years! And I'm totally into it. Yes, you can officially call me a "Soccer Mom." Maybe I need a mini van now???

After being completely unprepared for last week's first practice, we headed to the sporting goods store and bought Owen soccer cleats, shin guards, socks, new soccer ball and shorts! He is pretty stoked about his new team sport. They are off next weekend for Labor Day, but games will fill our Saturdays through mid-October.

The 4-5 year old league has 4 players per team and games are 3 on 3.

Here is Owen and his new team mates.

Today they practiced for 30 minutes and then had a scrimmage. It was pretty fun to watch, because neither the kids or parents knew what was going on. Owen did make one goal (although it was in the opponents goal....details, details).

So there you have it.......Owen's first team sport. Updates are sure to come after the games begin!
