December soccer?

Friday night, we got a Facebook message asking if Emilio would be willing to participate in coaching clinic on Saturday afternoon, starting at 1:30. He was. And so, from 1:30-4:30 on Saturday, he was one of a half-dozen kids on the field with 18(!) coaches seeking an upgrade in their coaching license to level "E." Of the 18, only a handful were from Ada. Some came from out of state. The supervising coach was from Manchester.

Emilio jumped at the chance to come back for day two from 1:30-5:00, even though it meant missing "NFL Redzone," which he loves watching.

Keeping the participants active was a point of emphasis, but when I came to observe the last hour on both days, Emilio's energy level showed no signs of flagging. On Sunday, he begged to stay later to play in the Boys and Girl club gym.

In addition to getting lots of exercise and valuable instruction, he got to play with some of the coaches, who participated in the drills and were often very talented players. Wish we could do this every weekend!

I included this one because of the hair.
