Carter's First Soccer Game....

On Saturday Carter had his first soccer game and it was the FUNNIEST thing I have EVER seen. The game consists of 2 10 minute halves with a 3 minute half time....I think the short halves are for the coaches that have to run the whole time trying to keep the kids in bounds then for the 3 year olds!
Kody told the kids to line up to start the game...and just like good little Preschoolers...they formed a single file line!
The poor ref trying to get the game started and explain some rules....as you can see the kids are listening intently!
Kody giving Carter some last minute instructions.....
And they are off.....Carter did score a goal! Way to go little man!
Carter and his buddy Max! Max likes to check out everyone's numbers!
Ahhh and the best part...snack time! As you can tell from the pink cheeks it is still very warm here in Phoenix....the kids did not seem to mind though!
Some of my favorite things about Carter's first soccer game:
*There are no goalies or throw-ins....the ref blows his whistle and the kids are supposed to stop....needless to say the kids would keep kicking the ball until an adult could catch up to them and pick up the ball.
*The coaches and ref yelling.."NO HITTING, NO HITTING" about every other minute!
*Right after Carter scored his goal he ran right off the field to get high fives from everyone!
*Both teams scored in their own goal multiple times.....but were so proud of themselves!
*The kids would just sit down on the field when they got tired!
*After the game the parents made a tunnel...Carter ran through his 5 times and threw the other teams twice!
3 Year old soccer is the best...I can't wait to see next weeks game!
