Goalie anyone??

These pictures were taken at Ryan's soccer practice two weeks ago! We have been so sick around here that I totally forgot to post them. At this particular practice, each child got a chance to try goalie. The coaches taught the kids that this is the only position where you can use your hands and that it is your job to protect the goal so... you need to stay in the goal if you are playing goalie. Guess who got to be the goalie during the scrimmage?? Yep, little ol' Ryan. And guess who ran out of the goal to go chase the ball around the field with the rest of the kids?? Yep, that was Ryan too. It took the coach about 5 minutes to realize he didn't have a goalie anymore. And the only reason he noticed was that the other team was on a break away for the goal and there was no goalie in sight! Here are some pictures of the drills for the day...

Unfortunately, there is no "schedule" for soccer. It's just weekly practices to learn the fundamentals. No games! But... practices are at 3:30 on Mondays if your schedule ever permits:-) xox, Lori
