We found this awesome program in our area called Family Friendly Soccer. A mother and father started it because they had two children in soccer and another child that wanted to play. They weren't sure how they would fit in 6 practices a week and 3 games on Saturday...let alone the $$$ to do it all. This way the kids get enough experience and are ready to play competitively when they get to middle school/high school. AND...it's $8 per child PER YEAR. That's right! $8 A YEAR!
It's every Saturday at 9:30. Because of their age our boys only have 30-40 minutes of "practice" and another 20-30 minute scrimmage. One hour....ding dang DONE!
It's amazing and a definite answer to a prayer.
We had Gabe in an area soccer league. It was really competitive and WAY too intense for him. Two practices a week...one hour game...etc. He hated it. We wouldn't let him quit. It was a huge mess. We prayed for an alternative...to EASE the tension in our home....along came FFS. Plus...we could afford for Cael to do it too.
Cael LOVE IT!
He's so cute. Whenever he does something good and/or scores a goal I cheer for him. He gets this little grin on his face then ducks his head all embarrassed like. I LOVE IT!
I didn't get any pictures of Gabe this time. He was being a little less than co-operative that day. But...he's liking it now and we are MUCH happier.
The Lord DOES answer prayers. That I know.
