Evelyn's Soccer

Evelyn has been practicing soccer for the past four weeks, and I'm finally getting around to writing about it. She's part of a program/clinic called Pre-Kicks, which is held at the indoor soccer-plex not ten minutes from our house.

One of Evelyn's nicknames is the Running Girl, so it comes as no surprise that Evelyn loves soccer. In her Pre-Kicks class, Evelyn does funn soccer-related things like dribbling the ball from one hoop to another, playing Sharks and Minnows (tag someone else by getting them with the ball), kicking the ball from one goal to the other and knocking over cones with the ball.

She really enjoys herself at soccer on Tuesday mornings, so we're considering putting Evelyn in the next level for the spring/summer session. That would mean learning more game-specific skills, culminating in a mock soccer game. We'll see!
