Jackson's 1st Soccer Game

We have been wanting to sign Jackson up for soccer for a few reasons 1) to get some of his energy out 2) to teach him sportsmanlike conduct as early as possible and 3) to have fun..... but we hadn't been able to find a three year old team. That is until my friend Layne told us about the one in Waterchase! Thank you Layne! So we headed out to the field at 9am Saturday morning for Jackson's first soccer game! Jackson was a little reluctant at first but then jumped in feet first and was even more thrilled when he saw his friend Brody was playing too! Jackson didn't love listening to the coach all the time or doing all the drills but he will learn eventually (he sometimes preferred picking flowers for mommy instead)!!! But when it came time for the game to start he was ready to kick the ball and try to score a goal!! Jackson had a blast and so did Ryan and I so we signed him up for the season!! This game we weren't so prepared as we wanted to make sure he liked it but the next game he will be ready with cleats and all!! And to recap after Jackson's first soccer game we accomplished two of our goals being Jackson exerted some energy and he had fun! Now we just have to work on sportsmanlike conduct but that might take a little while!!! Enjoy the pictures of our little soccer player!!
