Clark Starts Soccer

In Kindergarten here, they don’t offer school sponsored after school activities, but they do have quite a few well organized parent sponsored activities that the school also supports.  We signed Clark up for the U7 soccer league here and Tanner also signed up to be an assistant coach.  It has been really great to watch Clark learn and grow as he has started playing sports.  It is great to see him enjoy being part of a team and working together.  It is fun to see his skill improving steadily and even nice to see him work through disappointments.  It is the worst as a parent to see your kid put in as goalie and then get scored on.  They are so disappointed, but we are so proud when they can take it in stride and keep working hard.  They have practice once a week and then games early Saturday mornings.  It has been good to get the family going on Saturday, and I enjoy taking the whole family to watch Clark.  I really think it is important for siblings to support each other in the activities they are involved in and Andrew in particular likes to watch Clark and cheer for him. 

 

The week before Soccer started, a few families from our ward all got together and went over to the school on a Saturday and played together.  It was really fun and all the kids schooled the parents playing capture the flag afterward!

Clark is on Team Spain.  They have a lot of team pride and apparently a lot of pride for Burger King and McDonalds too since for some reason they do a team cheer for them too every week (maybe they are just hoping that’s where their parents will take them to lunch after the game?).
