Soccer

It's been a rocky start. Miles is tolerating soccer, but he doesn't love it. We practice at a school with a nice big playground and he'd much rather spend his practice time playing so sometimes he does. It's enough of a problem that we are moving practice to the other side of the school. Miles isn't the only one distracted by the playground, but he's certainly the most stubborn. When he's done with soccer for the day he's done. Casey volunteered to be assistant coach to help keep Miles engaged and it helped some. Casey was able to find some fun games that the kids seem to like so practices have been getting better.

This weekend we had our first game and we definitely have room to improve. Miles would run around for a minute and then just walk off the field. That was a common theme for our team. At one point we only had one player on the field and none of the other kids wanted to play. Our lone player told Casey that we needed more balls which was a pretty cute idea, but unfortunately not within the rules of the game.
