Caleb has started soccer through Upward this year. Last year he played with some other homeschoolers but wasn't much of a chance to learn the basics. He pretty much spent six weeks just kicking a ball around. With Upward he has a coach and they have practice each week and a game each week. They also use huddle times to incorporate scripture and life lessons about sports. He's pretty good, but we could be a little biased. It is so fun seeing your child not only learn a new skill, but also enjoy and succeed at it. Caleb was a little nervous about his new soccer program, he didn't want to "mess up". We had a great opportunity to help him understand that the important thing is to keep trying and to have fun. Here are some pictures from his first practice.
Way to go Caleb!!! You did great!!! Wish we could see one of your games. Maybe one of these times. Hang in there and keep practing!!
