Soccer Season

Many of our friends had their kids in the DACA Soccer League last year. We decided to give it a try this fall. It's a great starting point for the sport. It was only 6 weeks long and for 1 hour on a Saturday. The kids were divided into age groups and played a half hour for practice and a half hour in a game against a team closest in age. Since we were going to take Austin there, we decided to let Victoria try it as well. She has wanted to try it for a while. It was fairly inexpensive and as I said, a good starting point.

Both Austin and Victoria enjoyed it, especially getting the trophy at the end! One day though, Austin did say he wanted to take gymnastics instead. Overall, I think he had a good experience and I know Victoria really enjoyed it. I don't think she will be serious about soccer like she is with dance, but maybe she can play it for fun here and there. A couple of the weeks were pretty muddy and Austin fell a lot. That was fun to clean up! it's a little dirtier than dance or gymnastics, that's for sure!


Austin, looking good with the ball!

Victoria, showing her stuff during practice!

Check out Austin's mudspot one week. No wonder he got so muddy a few times!
