Scrimmage

For Franny's final soccer class, Coach Mike had the kids scrimmage. I think the concept of a sport having a competitive drive towards an end is completely lost on Franny; although, at age 4, I think this is a good thing, since it should all be about fun. Franny had missed the previous week's class, where he introduced them to some two-on-two exercises, which would probably have given her a better idea about how to play a game of soccer. As it was, she basically ran around and chased the ball and the other kids, not understanding quite what they were doing. But, as is apparent from the video, she had a great time, regardless. This class, led by the wonderfully patient and fun Coach Mike, was a great experience for Franny and one she really enjoyed. I am hoping she will be interested in another session in the Fall. We'll see!
