Organized Chaos

If you know anything about three year old's playing soccer (and even if you don't but take just one second to think about it) you will know that there is no soccer involved. It is all about running around, eating snacks, laughing, crying, picking flowers, falling down, kicking the ball (yes it does happen) and getting trophies at the end of the season. And it is all so worth it... even if it is partly from a selfish standpoint (who do you think is doing all the laughing?).

However, no matter the age, there is no denying that soccer players do in fact have the best legs...

A favorite distraction, flower picking...

Game plan...Drills...More flower picking...Soccer star...He shoots! He falls!Look alive! This is not baseball...Charging the field...Coach and Assistant Coach...Wait?! Is that ANOTHER kid picking flowers?Unfortunately Grant's plan to distract the other player by flashing his belly was attempted on a member of his own team...Grant even had his own die-hard fan base...Ben teaching Grant all about putting on the game face...Time to regroup... again...Go Blue Gators!Yay team!



The trophy makes it all worth it...And while no true soccer is played in a game amongst three yr olds, many other skills are developed along the way, such as sharing, teamwork, and yes... flower picking...
