Seth's First Soccer Practice!

Today Seth had his first soccer practice, he did really well! They did tons of drills and games, here are a few of Seth's favorites:



  • Jungle Safari (follow the leader) - You follow the leader through the jungle and point out animals while you're dribbling. You have to jump over snakes, duck under Monkeys, run from Lions, and squish spiders. Seth really loved this, he even said that when he was jumping over a snake, "Oh no! I landed on him and squished him!".


  • Elmer Fudd (dodgeball) - One side of the field are the bunnies, the other are the Elmer's. Elmers get to dribble to their balls to the other side of the field to hunt the bunnies who are running from them. If you get hit with a ball then you become an Elmer and get a ball to hunt bunnies.


  • Red Light, Green Light - Green light is when you dribble the ball. Red light is when you stop the ball and put your foot on top; Seth really liked that.


  • Bulldozers and Trucks - you dribble the ball around cones and try and use your ball to knock them over.


  • Switch - You dribble your ball and when the coach yells, "Switch!" you leave your ball and go dribble someone else's.


I have uploaded some pictures to our gallery here (http://gallery.mac.com/jldavis007#100150&bgcolor=black&view=grid), but included a picture of Seth jumping over a snake because I really like it a lot.
