Cooper was adamant about playing soccer as his next sport. A couple other boys in his class wanted to play soccer too - so we all signed up for indoor soccer this winter. Indoor was great because there was no out of bounds…can't imagine if they were on an open field. If nothing else, these games were a great 45 minutes of Sunday afternoon entertainment and a good intro to soccer.
It took him a few games to get acclimated to how the game worked and what he needed to do.
In the beginning he sure was an incredible cheerleader when his team scored a goal ;). And he and his buddy Jackson did a lot of chatting on the field.
They are so cute in their uniforms!
Already posted this pic, but it was worth the repost. Piper's first outing was to Cooper's soccer game at just 3 days old!
Serious pre-game huddle
Dad helped coach the team, he and the other coaches did a lot of laughing on the sidelines.
At this age, we were just so happy he was happy to go, happy to play and got some good exercise.
About 1/2 way thru their short season, Coop started to get a bit more aggressive. The first few games he was just following the pack of kids up and down the field, if the ball came near him-he wasn't sure what to do. Then he stepped up his game and was really chasing that ball around and kicking it when he got close.
My pictures are all from behind the glass wall so they aren't that great.
Laney Faith was so good at each game. She was content sitting right next to me as long as she had a snack. The one game she had to go to the bathroom was when Cooper scored his first and only goal and we missed it :(, but he doesn't know that.
The day he scored his first goal-think he was happy about that?
While at the Uhaul store with me last week, he took a selfie of his medal to send to Dad.
