First day of soccer!

Today, the kids joined the rest of the kids in their age group of the United States ... they started their first day of soccer with the Carroll Manor Hot Shots -- Team #11, also known as Team Germany!  I saw as many as 14 teams... that tells you how many kids are playing!

The kids did wonderfully.  They each had their own soccer ball, and that really helped keep the kids focused.

They are learning the basics like trapping the ball and kicking it not with their toes.  They spent some time dribbling, and they really enjoyed playing Sharks and Minnows.  DJ was the first shark, and he was good at stealing the ball from the other players!

At the end of practice, the coach decided to play freeze tag with the kids to give them another opportunity to run around.

They had a good time today!  Looking forward to next week!
