Smart Start Soccer

As Soccer was the only class available for a three-year old at the rec center, I signed Leah up. Overall, I liked the class. I think Tumbling Tots was better, but it's good to expose her to different experiences. I haven't blogged lately; this was actually in September.

Most of the classes consisted of practicing drills. For the last class, the classmates actually played a game. More accurately, they were supposed to play a game. But by the end, half of the kids had quit in a fit of tears because either another child had stolen the ball from them or they were stressed that they had to compete to get the ball in the first place. Guess which group Leah fell into?

Yep, she cried when another kid stole the ball from her and refused to play the rest of the game. She doesn't get the concept of friendly competition. A lot of kids were having melt-downs, so at least she wasn't alone. I think her favorite part was getting her own medal. Or maybe the adjoining playground that we always let her enjoy after each practice.
