Today was Isabel’s first day of Soccer Shots. I was very disappointed when we arrived and realized that the majority of her class is made up of 3-year olds! I had hoped it would be all or mostly 4/5 year-olds. Out of about 20 kids in class, only 3 of them are 4/5 year-olds and that includes Isabel! We’ll see how it goes… the class was a bit hectic/chaotic with the 3 year-olds running around chasing their balls all over the room and not listening to the instructors. Focus was taken off the group as a whole to get the other kids back into the group. Despite that however Isabel listened very well, to both instructors, and did exactly what they told the class to do. She even scored 3 goals and got a t-shirt!
Practicing how to stop the ball with their foot… remember NO HANDS!
Practicing dribbling and controlling the ball.
More practice…she went out of bounds a bit but got right back in again. Way to go!
Taking a break, before they break up into 2 groups.
Isabel was on the red team…
…and their off. Dribbling down to the other net to score a goal. Then they had to run back to where they started and get a new ball to dribble back to the goal. Isabel did this 3 times before class ended.
The look of determination on her face… she got it in the net!
3 for 3 shots… this last one was just before class was over. Great job Isabel!
