Homemade Soccer

County rec soccer is no cheap activity here. I think it was $90 plus an "encouraged donation" for Garrett to play last year. They had seven 45 minute sessions of drills and a little scrimmaging. Plus, if the fields are wet or there is a slight hiccup of bad weather, they cancel. We didn't have the greatest experience, so we were thinking soccer maybe should wait until he was a little older. Then my friend Mindy had a brilliant idea. She rounded up a bunch of 4-5 year olds from our ward at church and we created our own soccer team. She found a place to make team shirts for the kids and a few of the dads, including Jeff, became coaches. We set our own Saturday schedule, used the common space in her neighborhood and had a fabulous time! It was so fun to be on a team with a bunch of our friends and when we missed a day, it was no big deal. We can't wait to do this again in the spring!
