Acorn Soccer Game


The H Man played in his 1st soccer game last Saturday.  He was a little slow to get started, I guess that's what happens when you have one practice then show up for a game, but by the end, he was kicking the ball down the field.  Sure there where a few times that he kicked the ball all the way towards the wrong goal or tackled the ball to keep it from going to the opposite team but overall, he's a natural.  Even Brooks got in a few practice kicks while we waited for the game to start. 

My new friend, Darby, is the Acorn soccer coach...a very prestigious title.  You need A LOT of patience to wrangle these kids up and down the field.  This is a job that I probably will never be able to do.  She does a great job getting the kids excited about the game and how to play as a team.  At one point Robert looked at me and said, "It's like trying to herd cats!"  But the team was great and what a blast to watch these kids work together while having fun!
