Soccer First

Corbin not only had his birthday party Saturday, but he also had his FIRST soccer game that afternoon.

The way his age group is set up is to practice 30 minutes and then play 30 minutes the same day.  We’ve been playing a lot at home, but I wasn’t sure how it would translate when he got around kids his own age and in a new environment.

He started off a little hesitant in practice but by the time the game came this kid was ready.  Corbin surprised and delighted us all with his enthusiasm for the game.  He was aggressive, he got after the ball, and he worked with his team.

Corbin scored a few goals and he had the whole family (cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents) all cheering for him.  Basically, Corbin’s family made up half the crowd there.

I am officially a soccer mom and love it!  I had SO much fun watching Corbin play and cheering him on.  I am actually really looking forward to his next game. 

They have 6 kids on each team and play 3 at a time so they rotate in and out.  Here’s Corbin in action:

It’s really exciting to watch Corbin doing something he really enjoys.  Go Corbin go!!
