Soccer season has arrived. I am assisting with coaching for my four-year old, Alex, and his team. It's a blast. You just encourage them to not kick each other or touch the ball with their hands, and let them have fun. The ball stays on the field an average of 15 seconds before you or another adult have to chase it from the out of bounds area, but it's a small price to pay. Alex has six kids on his team. There are four boys and two girls, and they all seem to get along and enjoy being out there.
Since I'm coaching James' U8 team solo, I can tell you that the excitement and stress levels are nearly equal. The kids all love being out there, but they ain't the most attentive bunch of boys you'll ever meet. You just encourage them to not kick each other or touch the ball with their hands, and let them have fun. The ball stays on the field an average of 15 seconds before you or another adult have to chase it from the out of bounds area, but it's a small price to pay. See what I did there?
