Soccer....Go Lions

Yesterday was William's first soccer practice. He did EXCELLENT and most importantly had a blast. They were given out uniforms, which I must say are very nice for the YMCA and chose a team name....The Lions. All the kids are adorable and caught on very well. William still travels into la-la land and we have to tell him every once in a while to pay attention to the coach and follow the team. There were almost a few near scuffles when the kids didn't want to share the balls, but the coaches did great defusing and anticipating any near disagreements. They practiced stopping the ball, dribbling and kicking goals. William is a lefty...so crazy! His jersey number is 2.

I was doing some research to see what other famous soccer players donned the number 2 jersey. Here's what I came up with, Gary Neville (Manchester United), Stephen Carr (Newcastle United), and Michel Salgado (Real Madrid). I have no idea who these guys are but they are Googable!
I can't wait for the games and more practices, William is really loving soccer!







None of the kids wanted to put down their ball for fear of sharing!




GOOOO LIONS!!!









Looks like he's about to take a penalty shot...so intense.


Check out that fancy foot work.
