Peyton and Jack start soccer......

Both kids started soccer last week thru the CYC.  Both are playing for St. Peters.  One loved it, one hated it.  One will be going back, one will not. .....

Peyton had a blast and loved every minute of it.  She is playing with mostly classmates from Kindergarten.  She loves the physical part of it and she loves the social part of it.

Jack on the other hand.....
He had a rough practice.  He did great at the beginning doing drills and then when they went to scrimmage it was another story.  He is the youngest one out there.  When I signed him up there was a box for Pre-K and a box for Kindergarten.  So I was under the assumption he would play with preschoolers.  Well, they don't have that many preschoolers so they put them on the Kindergarten teams.  Well, there is a BIG different between Jack and Kindergarten.....it would be like Jack and Peyton playing against each other.....BIG DIFFERENCE.  So he was so little and not as quick or strong.  And the social part of it wasn't there for him either, as all these boys go to Kindergarten together so they are all already buddies, leaving Jack standing on the outside.  SOOOOO.....that being said, we are gonna hold off another year (at least), and let Jack play soccer at Vetta.  Something that is designed for preschoolers and he will be playing with kids his age.  Much more appropriate, I think.
