This year Madelynn begged to be enrolled in soccer. We gave in and signed her up with Lehi Rec. She was on team K08, and coached by Jordan Peterson. The teams consisted of 8 girls; all of whom are in kindergarten. They would play four on, four off. No scores were kept.
Ms. Madelynn practiced her little tail off with her father in the backyard; however, when it came to game day she wasn't really having it. We think she became a bit overwhelmed with all the physical contact that took place. She doesn't like being aggressive, and shies away from being pushed around or touched.
It was an interesting experiment, but one I don't think we'll repeat it anytime soon. Madelynn wants to be enrolled in gymnastics next. Classes start in July. I believe this will be better for her as it is more individualized and there isn't any physical contact.
