Maddox was upset when I told him that I had signed him up for soccer. He was nervous and just didn't know what to expect. He surprised me at the first (and only) practice, by getting out there with no problem. He's playing on the Y's Tiny Tots league. We had the one practice at the beginning of the season, then we play 6 games on Friday nights. No keeping score, no goalies, not much structure at all-just a bunch of 3, 4, and 5 year olds chasing a soccer ball! Fun!Well, at the first game, Maddox stayed on the field for about 3 minutes and was done. The team we were playing seemed bigger, older, and better than us. Basically, they had a clue what they were doing and we didn't. Maddox said he didn't like them!Britt asked me how much we paid for this. I was really worried about suffering through the next 6 weeks.Well..... Bae and Grandad took him to his next game because Britt and I were at the UA vs. South Carolina football game. We talked to them after the game and found out that Maddox made two goals and was all over the field! He was like a totally different kid!Since then, he has been the second best player on the team. He is doing great and really seems to love it! It has been well worth the 75 bucks!
