The Tigers

Mason had his first soccer game this Saturday.  I did not know what to expect…We have been pumping him up, playing soccer every day with him, talking it up!!  He was PUMPED for his first game.  The team practices for 30 minutes before the game then the game is 30 minutes following practice.  I do have to say that is nice.  It was so cute watching a team of 3 yr. olds practice :)  It was even better watching them play.  They play 5 on 5 with no goalie.  Soooo…Saturday we headed out to our first game.  We got Mason all suited up ready to run wild!  It was SUPER hot outside and I knew Madelyn would not make it too long in the heat.  Once we arrived Mason and Daddy kicked the ball around until everyone showed up.  Then the team practiced before their first game.  It was soo cute watching them….It was fun chaos!!!!!  Madelyn made it for 45 minutes before she was exhausted, hot and just not wanting any part of being in the hot sun anymore, so I had to leave with just 15 minutes left in the game.  Of course the 15 minutes I was gone…Mason SCORED…not just once but 2 times :)  The ball got loose from the crowd of players and Mason ran up and dribbled to the goal…thank goodness it was the right one ;)  The Tigers won 4-2.  They like to keep score and have a winning team and a loosing team to teach the kids.  I was so proud of Mason listening to his coach, being nice to his teammates and playing hard. He LOVED his first soccer game he kept telling me.  He was so pooped he passed out on the way home!
