Soccer Class

April 26 was Tyler's FIRST soccer class!! We signed him up through the Berryessa Community Center but the instructors were from Kidz Love Soccer. He goes on Saturday mornings for 30 minutes for 8 weeks. His class was for 3.5-4 year olds so it was perfect because they are just getting introduced to the game and learning to kick the ball around. It was a fairly good sized class and there were three instructors. each week they played several different games and made it really fun for the kids. One of the games that they pretty much did every week was putting the toys (soccer balls) into the toy box (goal). Another game they played was putting out the fire with their water ball. They had to kick their soccer ball and hit a bunch of tiny cones to put the fire out to help them learn to aim and kick. It was really fun watching how much Tyler was enjoying it. He was so excited to finally have an activity for himself since he has spent the last season and a half watching his older brother play T-Ball.
 Warming up by running to their coach on the other side of the field!
 There were several soccer balls which was nice so the kids didn't have to fight over the ball, they each got at least one!
 Another game was to plant the garden but setting up the cones...
 They also learned soccer terms like "soccer stance!"
Overall we were very pleased with this class and loved seeing Tyler have so much fun with it!
