Ready, Set, Throw!
Dribbling Drills

Good form, Savannah!
Perfect Score!
Vince enjoyed being outside but was burning hot!
Neither Jeff nor I played any soccer as kids, but we believed that Savannah should play a season or two and see how she likes it. Today was the tryout day for Upward soccer. We aren't too familiar with the program other than they don't keep score and that everyone is a winner. Jeff and I are both competitive when it comes to sports, so this is a totally different philosophy for us! After her tryout today, we are thankful that "everyone is a winner". Savannah struggled with some of the fundamentals, but we are hopeful that with some practice she will prove to be an athlete.
The kids were graded from 1-4 (4 being the highest) on their skills: kicking the ball directly to a person, dribbling through some cones, speed, dribbling to a particular place and stopping the ball, and throwing the ball in-bounds. She scored 1s and 2s on all skills except for throwing the ball in: she received a 4 on that! Jeff said it perfectly "in a game where you aren't allowed to use your hands, that's what she does best in." I think she'll excel in t-ball and basketball!
