Soccer!

Chance started Soccer practice at the beginning of January and he loves it. He is on the Teal team and they practice once per week on Tuesday and have a game once per week on Saturday. The games are not competitive, they don't even keep score and are played against other teams that practice in the same location. He has a uniform (you can see his shirt below) and has been having a great time with other kids his age learning fun soccer skills.

He went in thinking he was the best soccer player in the world and came out of his first practice not discouraged but excited about all the new things he had learned. He has a soccer ball here at the house and wants us to play soccer with him nearly every single day and most days we do.

I am very proud of how interested he is in learning all the skills of soccer and how much he wants to practice even when he isn't at official soccer practice. He knows already that if you want to be good at something you have to put in the work, practice, practice, practice to get better.

Of course he wants to win but at the same time he is more into the game and having fun than he is about who wins or loses the game and that makes me a very happy parent as well. This soccer session runs through mid March so we have lots of soccer to look forward to over the coming weeks.
