Forest Heights has its own soccer club, for boys and girls from kindergarten on up. The older children play games on Saturdays and Sundays but these youngest ones just run around together. It seems that most of the kindergarten boys have joined, which is a great opportunity for Seb to meet the boys in other classes and for us to hang out with them outside of school hours. They practice and scrimmage on Friday afternoons from 5-6 on the field outside the school.
The first week was a bit crazy, and Steve has decided he's not impressed with the coaching (parent volunteers, for the most part), but Seb has so far been really excited about it. He's particularly excited about his jersey and cleats. We winced a bit about buying them - I mean, really? - but he loves to be properly outfitted, like the other boys on the team, and his excitement has proved infectious. It really is pretty cute to see 30 boys all running around in their matching jerseys.
We were in the store and they asked Sebastian what number he wanted to be, and he picked 5 - turns out there are a lot of 5's on the team, since they're all five years old. :)
