On Saturday Kennedy had her first soccer game! It was every bit of a cluster fuck as one would imagine when nine 4 and 5 year olds are trying to play soccer. On top of having had only three practices, her team was divided into pairs of three and they played against each other. I'm assuming this is typical for the age group since winning/losing is not something that should be instilled. Maybe our league is just wacky, I truly don't know. Giving this, I totally understood their confusion when they all attempted to score in the same net instead of switching sides respectively.
In addition to scoring in the wrong net there was plenty of: spinning, dancing, sitting, laying down, chit-chatting and aimlessly looking at the sky. Like, that poor ref. My heart went out to her. Oh, their coaches too.
Overall it was a great time and she had quite the cheering section rooting for her. They deserve a special award, too because her game was bright and early at 9am but at least it was sunny and in the fifties! We had to report by 8:30, but of course that didn't happen. It was more like 8:45 and luckily no one batted an eye because I would have been a tad barky.
Shirts vs skins.
