Racquel (aka: Pokie), age four and our youngest grandchild has started playing soccer this year, Grace told us that she had missed the deadline for getting all three kids on teams, so in her desperation she promised, via phone message, that she would coach. Well be careful what you
ask "beg" for. Grace is now the coach for Ingrid and Ethan's team which plays on Tuesday night and Racquel is on the mismatched jersey team of pickup players. It doesn't matter how, why, or if the jerseys don't quite match, Racquel had a ball and showed that she has learned a lot from her older siblings.
The first lesson in soccer - learn which direction you kick the ball.
Second lesson - follow that ball.
Third lesson - kick the ball hard!
So you now know where we will be every Saturday at l:00 in the afternoon and Tuesday evenings at 6:30. Sitting in the shade (hopefully) and enjoying being a grandparent.
Ha ha, what a munchkin!
ReplyDeleteI once went out with a girl on the fringes of the English ladies team so I know what it takes and Pokie looks like a star. I also have a cutting somewhere purportedly describing a game in which Kim scored six goals (with pictures). But she could never get her leg that high. Even when she was 7.
