This season Peter joined the Iowa City Kickers, the community soccer league. It's a little more serious than the recreational tot soccer or tee ball. There's uniforms, shin guards, and soccer shoes. We've entered a new level of sports!
Peter loves...really loves...soccer. He's excited about practice and games, something he wasn't as excited with tee ball. I think it's the fact that soccer is more of a contact sport, specifically with the ball! Here's Peter practicing his kicking before his first game last Saturday (the 11th).
Coach Brian is great. He also has a great group in his team. Peter has a couple of classmates as well as new friends on his team. His first game was against another team made up of some of his preschool classmates and friends. It was confusing at first, but then it was all fun after that.
Towards the end of the game, Peter got possession of the ball and made a goal! Unfortunately, I didn't catch the goal...bad time for the camera battery to die! But Peter remembers it fondly!
Yes, this officially makes me a soccer mom.(No bumper stickers for the van, please!)
