My wife signed up Olivia to play soccer with the county recreation department a few weeks ago and she had her first practice yesterday. :-) Karen and I took her to the school where it was held and she had a great time learning how to dribble the soccer ball. Her team is Coed but mostly boys where there. (three or four other girls) This was no problem for Olivia as she fit in really well and tried to do everything that Coach Tim told her to do. The toughest part was the exercise where they were supposed to dribble the ball and then stop the ball when he blew the whistle. She kept stopping herself (as in freezing) and let the ball roll ahead. (The idea was that they should be controlling it). So those that let the ball roll on when the whistle blew had to take their ball to the back of the line and start over. This didn't discourage her and she took it in stride and is ready to go back next week. Next week they will focus on learning how to pass the soccer ball to another player. She really enjoys being active and trying new things. This bodes well for us as parents! :-)
