D's first soccer game

D started soccer this year with Rich as his coach. There are five 5 year olds on a team and they practice for 30 mins and then have a 20 min game. It's fun to watch. And it's funny to listen to parents on the sidelines coach their boys. I'm trying to stop that habit but I enjoy hearing groans from dads when their child isn't going the right way, isn't moving at all, or totally misses a goal that's three feet in front of them.
D is one of those who's just out there to run around and has no idea where he should be. It's fun to watch him.

In this league the coaches stay on the field to help the boys know where to go. We do have a little super star on our team who has great ball control and scores a lot. So everyone gets to cheer and give Coach a high five.
I wish life were as simple as a U-6 soccer practice/game.
