Ryland has expressed interest in soccer over the last few months, so we thought a mini camp would be the perfect way to try it out. He was once again really excited about the uniform and the possibility of getting a trophy.
All the excitement came to a halt, when the group was warming up. They listened to the rules and stretched. It was then time for 10 jumping jacks. Ryland jumped out for one and then realized he didn't know how to do a jumping jack. I saw the devastation all over his face. He immediately started crying and ran over to me. We had a little chat, and he decided to get back in there.
The rest of the afternoon was awesome. He loved kicking the ball around, making new friends, and learning a new sport. The coaches told them all to go home and practice what they covered. We also need to practice our jumping jacks!
