Brigham has had soccer practice every Saturday for the last 3 weeks. Today they decided it was time for the 2 three year old teams to have a game against each other. After 20 minutes of practice they played. I expected the kids to just all run after the ball and kick it. That is what most of them did. That is not what Brigham did. Ha ha. He was pretty much just standing on the field watching everyone else run. I spoke with him and told him he could have candy if he chased the ball and tried to kick it to the goal. After a little hesitation he began just chasing the pack of kids trying to get the ball. A few times the ball went right past him and he just watched it.
He was just not into playing the game. He loves practice and talks about it all week but he enjoys drills better than just chasing a ball along with 18 other kids.
I hope he begins to understand the game better and that he will enjoy it. I loved soccer. It is my sport of choice for our kids. Baseball takes up way too much time and it is such a slow game to play. Football comes with head injuries. I also enjoyed basketball. Maybe in a couple years if Brigham doesn't want to play soccer then we will switch to basketball. If he really wanted to play baseball or football I would support it but I will not be the one telling him about baseball. Ha
Today was also picture day.
This is a picture I pulled from the video I recorded of the game. Brigham is on the far left.
