George, the Little Soccer Dude

George started his first organized team sport this week, 3 & 4 year old Soccer at the YMCA. He was so excited to have his own soccer ball with his favorite color orange on it and to wear his cousin Cliff's shin guards (Cliff is now 15)! His best buddies Asher and Cache are on his team which makes it even more fun!

Listening intently to the coach...



As his first practice began, George became unsure of it all, and cried, refusing to play.

In typical George fashion, it took him about 15 minutes of observing the other kids from the sidelines and soaking it all in....then he decided to join in! He made great shots into the goal and had fun running and kicking the ball with his new teammates. And he was even more pumped about the post-practice snacks!! What a great player...and so adorable (sure, I'm biased!)

I love 3 yo soccer...check out Cache's practice stance in the lower rt corner of this pic!

Ending practice pep talk (notice Asher's almost handstand in lower rt corner! love our friends!)
