Zane just started Soccer this past week, and he has been loving it! We have all of the cool gear like shin guards and cleats, and he loves his black soccer shorts and his purple and white jersey. When I signed him up for soccer a few months ago I thought it was just a kindergarden team, but as it turns out it is a combined kindergarden and first grade team. Zane is born in September, so he is still 4. Several of the other kids in first grade are 6, so we are lucky that Zane is naturally big, tough, and coordinated.
Zane's first game was last Tuesday, and he was so awesome! Apparently there are'nt any goalies in little kid soccer, and this didn't make much sense to Zane. Sooooo... he decided to make it his personal mission to block every ball he could coming at his team's goal. He actually blocked 4 goals! On the first block he dove (literally DOVE) in front of the ball and put his hands straight out to barely block the ball from going into the goal. Since there aren't any real goalies in little kid socccer, there is a rule that nobody can touch the ball with their hands, so the other team was given the ball. But it only took him once to learn that rule, and the next 3 blocks were done with his feet and legs. GO ZANE!!!
