Winter Soccer

This year, we decided to let Evan play winter soccer (which is soccer inside a gym).  It's nice in some ways because the practices are just a half hour before the games so we don't have any extra obligations during the week. However, the practices are also mostly run by the YMCA staff and they don't do a lot of useful drills or "real" practice.  Still, Evan was excited to play since his best buddy Alex was playing on the same team.

These are some of the Y-led drills

Another of the drills (put your elbow on the ball)... see what I mean?

Still, we've enjoyed the soccer even if it wasn't quite what we expected and Caitlin has gotten in on the action too!  She participates in the Y-led drills with Daddy and really enjoys that.  We are getting her ready since in the Spring, she will get to play on Evan's team!  She really really wants to play with him.
