K's 2nd Game

K had her second game on the 24th. The night before at practice, I helped the coach keep control of the kids and inadvertently became the assistant coach. This game went much better than the first - we didn't score one goal for the other team - a marked improvement over the first game. And I must tell you the overall importance of the "snack and juice box" bribery for playing the game. We got to the field and K said she was tired (keep in mind the game was at noon). Anyway, I told her if she didn't play she wouldn't get her snack and juice box after the game. Within .1235737824 seconds, she was off. Don't underestimate the power of the snack and the juice box.


We start with a seemingly well thought out plan.


Then we get all lined up...


....they start to kick....

....and then everyone pushes and falls down while the ball sits still. 4 Year Old Soccer - it's Fantastic.

This was about the time the ball went under Kerrie's chair. It's like a thunderous herd from a safari coming at you. Scary times.
