Ethan is going to be playing Upward Soccer for the first time this fall. So earlier this week, Scott and Papa Brisken went out to the park soccer fields to work on some drills. This was Ethan's first "official" practice, other than just kicking the ball around in the backyard with us. We confirmed that he is a left-footed kicker. He did very well in the practice, from what I understand from the guys (I spent the majority of my time occupying Caleb . . . we'll have to remember to bring another ball for Caleb next time to kick around.) Scott said he was good at trapping the ball and following the ball to kick it along down the field. There may be more technical terms for these skills, but the non-soccer player that I am don't know them. :-) Ethan was mostly interested in scoring goals . . . Scott says that is the main thing they are going to have to work on! I am hoping Upward Soccer will be a good first experience for Ethan on a team. It is a Christian based sports program, so winning is not the focus. We are excited to start attending games each Saturday starting soon! (Still waiting on calls from the coaches to get the exact schedule of practices and games.)
