Soccer

Our sub driver picked us up at 9:15 to go over to the school for the soccer meeting.  Carrasco's rode with us.  We pulled in the parking lot and saw a bunch of Chinese kids in soccer uniforms.  We had no idea what they were doing there.  Mr. Li came out and told us to go in through the guard room and meet out on the field. 

Once all of our kids got there Mr. Li explained that the coach brought the Chinese team to practice with our kids.  They all made a circle and the coach and Mr. Li told the kids what was going to happen.  They then got in 2 lines from tallest to shortest.  they jogged a few laps, did some stretches, played a game where they had to crawl through every ones legs, and then did drills.  For the last 1/2 hour they played a game.

The two teams having a meeting with the coach.

Our boys were listening but the coach was talking in Chinese.  Hmmmmm.

Stretching.

Running drills.

Kicking drill.

While the kids played the game all the adults tried to figure out what the best time would be to hold these clinics.  Everybody is busy and it took forever to pick a day and time.  It was finally decided on Friday afternoons from 4:30-6:00.  I already know we will be missing some days because we will be out of town. 

Cameron seemed to enjoy it.  The only thing he didn't really like is the coach speaks Chinese only so he had no idea what he was saying.  Hopefully Cameron learns and gets better at soccer.  At least he is with his friends.
