Revolution Soccer

Eric played soccer on an Iowa City Rec Department team named Revolution.  His coaches attempted to teach him about the rules and positions in soccer but he was more interested in hitting the flags while doing warm up laps around the field.  He also enjoyed clawing at the grass.  Eric got lots of exercise running during soccer...sometimes in the direction the ball was going and sometimes not.

He was in on the action from time to time during the games.

But he was often off running around by himself.  In an attempt to keep other kids away from him he would swing his arms like he was swimming breast stroke while he ran around.

And this is what playing goalie looked like.

Making it to the end of the game with his team was a success at this point.  Snack on the sidelines with his siblings was much more enticing.

IC Kickers

Sylvia played soccer on an Iowa City Kickers team this spring.  There were other kindergartners from Horn as well as students from Weber.  Her coaches did a really good job with the team and Sylvia's soccer skills improved immensely during the season.  She would get right in there to get the ball.  She was happy to make a few goals during the season but also proud of her assists.  We're not sure what activities she'll end up sticking with but it's fun to watch her try new things and show improvement.
