Tommy's First Soccer Game!

 Andrew had Tommy join a soccer league and volunteered to the be the coach! Oh boy, what did he get himself into?

They had their first soccer practice on Thursday and their first game was today.  Tommy did not have a good first practice.  He was having a bad week but I was still hopeful for Saturday.

 Huddled up and ready to start playing.  In the 4 year old league, the coach gets to stay on the field.

Charlotte and I had front row seats for the game! ;)

 Andrew put the kids in a formation because that's what the other coach was doing.  Ha!  This is Tommy and his new friend Sage, I think is her name.  It was evident we were playing some kids who had definitely played before and might have been a little older.

 Tommy was much more prepared with his soccer uniform today.  He also looked adorable too. :)

 Coach Andrew giving a thumbs up!


Here are some highlights from the game.  I almost think it's more fun for the parents than the kids! At the beginning of this video, Tommy is holding his side.  He just got nearly leveled by another girl on his team.  Whoops! But he hung in there for a little bit.  The kid with the faux hawk is really good, obviously.  By the end of the season, they should really get how to play. :)

 After the game, they did the obligatory, "Good Game" handshake walk. 

After the game, the parents make a tunnel and they run through it.  It's the cutest thing and a perfect tradition.  Love it.  First practice was rough but the first soccer game was a success!
