Here's what's great about indoor soccer:
1. It's for 3-4 year olds and does NOT require parent involvement
2. There are 2 coaches and they are actually making an attempt to teach the kids how to play soccer
3. There are no games, which means I don't have to bring snacks
4. It's indoors, which means no cleats
5. No cleats means no shin guards
6. There are no teams, therefore no jerseys I have to buy
7. Ethan has a lot of learning to do, starting with learning that soccer means no hands on the ball. In the first class they had an exercise where the coach asked them to get all of the balls from one goal clear across the field to the other goal. They should have been a little more specific as Ethan thought that was pretty darn easy. Just walk over there, pick up the ball, and carry it to the other goal.
8. Brynn LOVES watching Ethan play soccer. And waving at him. And yelling "Ethan! Ethan!" at him.
9. Ethan loves it
What's not so great about indoor soccer:
1. I have to entertain Blythe and Brynn for 50 minutes in a very small space
2. There are 2 coaches, but probably 2 too many kids. And there's one kid who just cries the whole time distracting the other kids. But the parents keep making him stay out there.
3. It's 20 minutes away and at 9am on a Saturday. Means we got to get our butts moving in the morning!
4. If Ethan doesn't hear Brynn shouting at him or see him waving at her, she cries
5. Considering it doesn't come with a jersey or any other form of equipment, it's not all that cheap.
As you can see, the good list outweighs the bad. Especially #9 on the good list.
And look....he's a natural! (he's wearing blue on the right side of the field)

I am glad Soccer if over. Allison was really good for her first time playing this year too. She was the only person on her team who would score a goal. When she didn't score we just told her if you go score we will give you a piece of gum. So, she would go out there and steal the ball and go score.. to funny!
