AJ did really great! He had no problem listening to Coach Nicole. We saw him chat and giggle with a few new friends/teammates. We met some new parents:)
AJ definitely didn't always get the concept that you can't touch the ball with your hands, and some of the drills didn't make sense. When it was scrimmage time, AJ got it kinda:) His defense was nonexistent, and his offense-well I did see him attack the goal one time. Afterwards as we headed to the dinner of his choice, AJ said, "I want to have dinner with my friends." Aka teammates. And there you have it folks, the statement that made me know that soccer is worth it!!!!
One thing I read in the rule book which I will do my hardest to abide by-"let the coach coach!" It was hard when AJ was doing drills completely wrong to not holler at him some commands-in fact a couple times I did. But I am not the coach!!! I am his parent who is there to watch him play, learn, experience a sport. I'm there to cheer him on for having FuN!!!!
