Soccer Star!

Landon played in his very first organized sport this past Saturday...soccer!  We decided to try out the sport with a little 4-on-4 - no-goalie style soccer with the YMCA.  A six-week season.  Just right!  Now you are going to be succumbed to a "few" pictures of Landon's First Soccer Game.

Kicking the ball around before the game.

Look at that determination!

Keeping it away from the other team.

"Hey wait, I was using that!"

Give it back...

I got it! - Nice moves!

Keep moving!

Running in for a water break.

Ahhhhh.

A few helpful tips from dad.

Working on getting it out of the "mob" of players.

Listening to Coach Joe while waiting for the throw in.

Great Job!

My favorite shot of the day!

Go get it, buddy!

Playing a little defense (with Coach Joe!).

Good Game!

And the all important "after game snacks"!!!

I think Landon had a great time.  We are pleased with our coach - who is really fair and played all the kids the same amount of time.  Actually Landon got about 5 extra minutes of play time as he had to sub for the last few minutes of the game due to an injury to a teammate.  The three rules of the game are:

 1. Kick the ball in the goal.

 2. No Hands

 3. Have fun!!

I think we accomplished all that!!  We treated Landon to breakfast at IHOP after the game.  It was a great day!
