Radley has been enjoying soccer camp this week (I won't say love, because well... I'll get to it).
Every morning the first stop is always the gatorade because why not?
It's cold.
It's free.
It's neverending.
High-fives for gatorade!
Today they got their very own "Aggie Soccer" jerseys - he was pumped!
All the campers gathered for a group shot with their coaches and it was pretty adorable. For some reason they wouldn't allow the parents to climb on the press box to get the good shot, so I just zoomed in on this cutie.
After all that gatorade and picture taking, it was finally time to play some soccer.
Well, it was really just time for their daily drills and training disguised as games, which is the part that Radley doesn't really {love}. In his sweet little five-year-old head, all you need to know to play a good game of soccer is how to run fast and kick a ball. Done. I mean, what's so hard about that?
He just wants to "play". Clearly. The end of each day has been filled with my exciting explanation of why it's important to learn these skills - he's about at a good 43% of buying it.
Luckily at the end of the day they get to "play soccer" and it's always fun to watch him to do that...
The coaches do a great job of teaching everyone to celebrate when someone scores. It's pretty darn adorable to see the various celebratory dances of the teams.
Radley does get a little frustrated with the size of the "field" which is really just one grid of space. "Mom, it needs to be bigger. We keep running into each other. There are too many people out there and we can't run. AND... some body kicked me with their cleat today."
That's right, kid, just brush it off.
;)
He keeps wanting to go back which is a good sign and he's pretty excited about Friday's ceremony. I'm just excited that I have gotten to spend so much alone time with him this week.
And the gatorade. I'm really excited about the gatorade.
