Briggs just completed his first season of organized sports. Soccer! He made friends, had fun, and improved throughout the season. Success!!
Briggs really enjoyed playing soccer. He had a nice little team and made some new friends. Like his sisters before him, Briggs was not the most aggressive kid on the field. He usually kept himself to the perimeter of the action and would step aside to allow other kids (both his team and the other team) to kick the ball if they were close. He did make one goal on the season and had a few opportunities to kick the ball down the field, but when there was a crowd around the ball, you would usually find Briggs on the outskirts of that crowd. He was most often seen running laps around the huddle of kids who were around the ball.
Briggs was never quite ready to get in the mix.
I enjoyed helping coach Briggs's team this year. In pee-wee soccer, coaching mostly consists of pointing the kids towards the correct goal, reminding them not to use their hands, and corralling them on the bench when it is not their turn to play. I feel fully capable of handling all aspects of pee-wee soccer coaching even without any background in soccer.
Loved getting to coach Briggs's team.
Briggs enjoyed his first season of organized sports and I loved watching him play. It was a nice opportunity for Briggs to enjoy "his thing" after so many seasons of watching his sisters do theirs.
My little soccer player!
