After weeks of anticipation, today was finally the day for Audrey's first soccer practice. With her soccer gear on and her can-do attitude, we drove to Spyglass Fields for the big event. She practically bounced out of the car and onto the field. We were about fifteen minutes early (she didn't want to be late) so Audrey ran around the field, kicking the ball and practicing her dribbling skills until practice started.
Audrey's coach is a former pro footballer from Germany. He is very kid-friendly and works well with the young teams. "Patience of a Saint" was the phrase that kept coming to mind during practice... especially when almost every child was catching the ball or picking it up using their "off limits" hands! :)
This is her first team sport experience and I am really excited that today's practice was a positive one and also that she is enthusiastically looking forward to next week's practice.
