So, this time around, Zara chose to play "Hot Shots" with her friend Vivien (who also did Y soccer wit her this past summer and turns out to be in Zara's class at school, too!). Also on her team? 4 other friends from her grade at Johnson, and at least one other kid who will be at Johnson in K next year. So all those Learning Leopards made the whole experience a lot more fun. And making it even mo' better was the fact that 3 of Zara's teammates are in her reading group at school! There was so much love on the field the kids sometimes forgot to play soccer and held hand instead. A lot of progress was made by all team members, and by the end of the 8 weeks the kids were going above and beyond my wildest expectations for huddle soccer, with even the occasional (purposive, as far as we could tell) pass! The accompanying 2 images show how COLD it was when soccer started in contrast to how delightfully balmy it was on our last game day.
