Last day of Soccer

Sadly, this past week, was the last week of soccer. We are pretty sad. We could sign up for the next session, but baby is due in the middle of that session, and I don't want any strict commitments during that time. Also it is expensive without the groupon we used, which is only for new families. And it is indoors, and in spring and summer, we can do so many fun things outside, that we don't need to be stuck inside playing soccer.
This summer we hope to do tee-ball. In the fall maybe outdoor soccer, and in the winter indoor soccer again. We will see how things go.
The most missed thing about soccer for Brady, will be his coach. Coach Matt. He adores coach Matt. At home he makes us play like we are at soccer, and he is coach Matt. When I mentioned maybe in the summer he could play tee-ball, he said, "oh ya, with coach Matt." He loves that guy. He is a really good coach. He knows all the kids names, and shows each one special attention.
 On the last day, Coach Matt was watching the other coaches to do an evaluation of the class. Brady was clearly upset about these new coaches. Thankfully, Coach Matt took over about half way through. It would have been quite devastating if on his last day of soccer Brady did not get to play with coach Matt. But he did, and all was well. We are thinking about having Brady's birthday there, and will of course request coach Matt.
I loved lil' kickers program for this age. He learned listening skills, following directions, sharing, shapes, colors, pretend and imaginative thinking, as well as soccer skills. If you are looking for something for your little one, give this a try. I know they have many locations all around the country. Can't wait to see our little athlete in his next activity!
