Olivia had her first soccer practice last weekend. She started off strong and then sort of petered out due to waking up too early! It was very humid that day, and the fields were really muddy...in fact they were completely soggy! But, Olivia says she wants to go back again. Her coach is part of a group from England that came over to teach Americans to play football, so he "speaks funny". They played a lot of games like "body parts" where they have to put their head on the ball, then their elbows and so on...and then they played stop and go and "Stuck in the muck" when they have to kick their ball through the legs of their parents. There is of course one father who is "that father"...the one who thinks he should push his 3 year old to the max. "Control the ball, control!"...he's really scary.
