Little Storm

On Saturday morning Aric had his first soccer game.  I wasn't too sure how the game would go since his team, Little Storm, only had two practices.  Well, actually, all of the other teams only had two practices.  After running out last minute the day before to get Aric black shorts for game day, he was ready to go.


Actually he was a bit tired.  We had stayed up late the night before because we were out playing mini golf and eating ice cream.  I know we are considerate parents for letting our child get overly tired before a game, but we all had fun playing mini golf.

It was hot on Saturday.  After the first half of the month teased us with fall like temperatures, we are now in the hot and dry part of August. 



They warmed up, practicing side-stepping, falling and getting up quickly.


He's too young to be giving me that look.


We had great sideline seats.  Kellyn was excited.  She dressed for the occasion wearing blue because Aric was wearing blue.  She even brought along her KC Sporting scarf, but left it in the car when we arrived.

The coaches positioned everyone on the field.  When the game started no one moved off of their designated spot.


It took a bit of coaching, but soon everyone realized they could move from their spot and kick the ball.


Aric played goalie for a bit.  He stopped three balls, but was unable to stop a fourth.  He was pretty upset about letting one get by.


Ryan talked to him for a bit, let him know how well he did, and coached him a bit.


Everyone on the team had a chance to play multiple times during the game.  They also had time to rest and drink out of their nifty new water bottles.



Don't worry about Kellyn, she created her own fun during the game.
