Serious Soccer Lessons

Because of our successful venture with soccer this summer, we joined with a group of parents and hired a guy to give soccer lessons over the summer. Man, has this turned out well. The coach, who played for UMD, has that kiddie kavorka.  The kids really liked him, had a blast and showed actual improvement in one lesson.  

Of course, this comes with some wardrobe demands.  Here is Ellis in her new cleats, shin guards and socks.  We also upgraded her ball to a size 3.

 

Here, Ellis is demonstrating one of the exercises her coach taught her for balance.
