Soccer Game #1: Stingrays vs. Blue Marlins

Samuel had his first soccer game today. I can't remember if I posted this or not, but Adam is coaching his team. Samuel was really excited to go play soccer, but he didn't actually do much playing. He sat on the bench the whole game and didn't even want to go in and play. The one time we tried to make him, he whined and cried so we let the other kids play instead. Maybe next time he'll want to play. He did cheer for the other kids though so that was good.

Warming up - Samuel is the one squatting down

More warming up - Samuel is the one to the left with his hands up in the air away from the other kids

Samuel's actually with the other kids in these next pictures but he got upset because they wouldn't let him have the ball.

Here's the ref explaining the rules. Samuel actually stuck around for that one.

This is what Samuel did during the game. He sat on the sidelines with me and kept trying to get his own ball to kick around. He didn't understand why he had to share with all the other kids.
