We finally joined the AYSO team. Last season, I narrowly missed the deadline to get Tucker enrolled on the team but this season I was on the ball!
Tucker loves soccer. A favorite past time is kicking the ball around and at St. Michaels one of the teachers has talked to me repeatedly to make sure Tucker goes into soccer. His interest in ice hockey has waned considerably, so I’m in to it. I love soccer!
First practice was an absolute blast. Tucker is a natural – raw power, driving kicks and a solid sense of sportsmanship, twice helping a little boy (that he may or may not have tripped) by extending his hand and making sure he was okay. Good stuff, right there.
On the down side, he didn’t understand the physical parameters of the game (when have we ever played with a de-marked field?). And he was really confused by the “line” the coach kept referring to, because friends, there were only cones. No lines, as far as the eye could see.
