Ray has been talking about signing Addison up for soccer for awhile now. Addison has been all for it until it actually came time start practice and she became all nervous. I totally felt for her, but, I really wanted her to try it. I think (know) she'll like it & that it will be a really good experience for her to play.
Addison will be playing with a church league. We found it because the bus stop Ray goes to picks up at this church & we've seen kids playing in the field next to the church before but they hadn't been there for awhile. When I picked up Ray a couple nights ago we saw a gentleman out there & Ray went to talk to him & found out that the first practice/team assignments were this Saturday! And, it's only $30 for a seven-week program!
I was really pleased with the first meeting today, it actually reminded me of being at camp! I think it was partly due to being outside in a field to play sports but also largely due to the general countenance of the coaches. I really appreciate the emphasis they put on instruction and good sportsmanship rather than competitiveness.
Even though Addison wasn't too sure about it at first, about halfway through the practice she told me, "This is so much fun!"
