I took my 3-year-old to her first soccer practice last month.
It was the little toddler team on the Navy base. Other than ballet, it’s the first organized activity she’s ever done. And it’s definitely the first team sport she’s ever done.
First, the coach rallied them all together and made them pick a team name and taught them a quick cheer. I heard “Go Heroes!” the rest of the way home and on into the following morning. She loved soccer, even if she still had absolutely no idea how the game was played. She just loved the idea of being part of a team.
