Lil'kickers Day 3

Today, at Dave's Lil'kickers class the kids had to do an obstacle course. Here are a few pictures of Dave trying the course.
Jumping into hula hoops.
Jumping over noodles.
At the end of the course they had to score a goal.
And another great part about practice today, they got to use the parachute!!!

Lil'kickers day 2

Today, Dave's favorite game at soccer was waking up Fred the mouse. They have a "mouse" named Fred that lives on the other side of the wall. The kids have to run kicking their soccer ball down the field and then kick it against the wall and yell "Wake up Fred!!"

Dave making sure that he is going to go to the right wall to wake up Fred. Everyone kicking their soccer balls down the field.Dave kicking his ball against the wall to wake up Fred.The kids listening to the wall the see if Fred is awake and ready to go to his own soccer practice!

Lil'kickers day 1

Today, was Dave's first soccer class!! He loved every minute of it. Here he is in his cool soccer uniform, he's number 7. After, the class the coaches suggested that we think about moving him to next level. Dave is currently in the cottontails group, but the coaches felt that he was able to move to the hoppers group. The hoppers group is for 3- 4 year olds, we have good eye and hand or foot coordination and follow directions well. Moving to the hoppers group would also mean that Dave would be on the field with other kids by himself. So we are going to consider this after one more class at the cottontails level. Dave meeting his coach, Coach Kenny and his assistant Coach Brittany. Look at me on the soccer field!All the kids having a race.Dave listening very carefully to Coach Kenny's instructions on how to kick the soccer ball.Dave kicking the ball.Look at him kicking the ball down the field. He did a fantastic job today!! Chris and I were both so proud that he followed all the rules and all the instructions.

Lil'Kickers open house

Yesterday, we went to the Bucks/Mont Indoor Sports Center to check out the open house for the Lil'kickers program. It's a soccer program that starts at as young as 18 months and goes up to age 9 years. Dave absolutely loved the program and we enrolled him in the cottontails program for the next 12 Tuesdays. His coaches name is Coach Dave, so of course Dave found this to be very cool!! Here are just a few pictures from the open house.
Here the kids are setting out the cones which they have to pretend are trees. Which later they had to kick a soccer ball around the cones and try not to wake up the birds. Dave understood and was pretty good at handling the ball. But, he did make sure to point our to Coach Dave that the other kids didn't quite understand that they were not supposed to wake up the birds (knock over the cones). So after a little bit Dave's job was then to reset all the trees that the other kids knocked over.
I'm not really sure why Dave has the cones on his head!?? Dave and Coach Dave having a race down the field! Coach Dave was great at working with the two and three year old crowd, he kept things moving at a very fast pace and kept them interested. They played about half a dozen games or so in the time we were there. Dave is so looking forward to starting on Tuesday!!
