My kids have never been much into sports. They have tried most of them but unlike most families we don't spend our spring and fall Saturday mornings on the soccer field. However Matt is old enough to play and so we spent the last month of Saturdays (and Tuesday nights) watching Matt do something...I'm pretty sure it wasn't soccer.
See what usually happened was something like this:
during warm ups he would actually play and do what he was supposed to do.
Slowly the game would progress and instead of paying attention to anything he would start posing and occasionally do some made up karate/kung fu moves.
This would continue the entire time he was on the field.
Until he noticed I had my camera out. At this point he would tell everyone it was time to stop and take pictures...yes this did happen while the game was in progress.
After about ten minutes of watching the ball pass him by and all the other kids run around while he was walking around with his arms in his sleeves imitating a raptor , he would decide he was tired tell the coach he was ready to be done.
So that was our soccer experience, it cracked me up every time he played. But he seemed to enjoy it and keeps asking when his next ball sport is.
