I have joked since Logan was born that RJ would be my soccer player and Logan would be my hockey player. The city of Tracy offers inexpensive sessions of soccer (between 6 & 8 weeks per session) for preschoolers (and school-agers since that's what he'll be soon), so we thought we could let RJ give soccer a go in addition to his steady diet of gymnastics. He's actually quite the natural and has decent control of the ball for a little kid and was the fastest one in his session (which makes sense because he's on the older end of the age spectrum, but I didn't want him to be discouraged when trying the sport for the first time, so I went with the younger group that he was eligible for).
His soccer practices are really well run, where the coach has fun games for them to play to practice discreet skills, and most practices end in a short and friendly scrimmage. I was really impressed and RJ enjoyed himself this month too!
These pictures are living proof that I'm now a "soccer mom".
