2012 Soccer: 1st practice

Newton fall soccer. Terri was excited to go and meet her other teammates. She stood back and listened, as she was a little tentative not knowing what to do. (This is her 1st year, and most of the other kids this is their 3rd year.)



Coach was explaining positions. This is her "defender" pose.  Apparently, she thought she could use her Karate on the field.

Then they did some dribbling drills.  She kept picking up the ball and moving it so it would be easier to kick around the cones.  After some help from coach, she was able to do it the correct way.

Learning about "Toe-Knee" where she mostly just got the knee part, but that was good for her.

Listening intently to the rules for "Crab" soccer.

She did pretty well with getting around the "crabs."

Passing drills.

Scrimmage at the end of practice. She followed instructions, but didn't really know what she was supposed to be doing.

She doesn't like to be hot and sweaty, so this should be interesting. I think she'll learn a lot this year.
