I couldn't be any any happier with our U-6 team this year. We won on Tuesday, not that we keep score ;-)
We've seen a sharp increase with the amount of passing and cooperative play among the players. The days of a player throwing the ball in from the sides and only throwing it far enough that he or she (yes, I once saw a girl do this, not just boys) can be the one to kick it down field after its thrown.
Super Girl (our daughter, age 5.5) has yet to score a goal but does get into the paly regualrly. She's still timid a lot of the time, but we're working on that. She is palying well and I let her know that often.
Action Girl (8.5 years) regularly gets a goal and seems to be on a strong team this year. She is liking soccer very much, although still perhaps seocnd to figure skating (which she is NOT doing over the summer). In August, after soccer finishes she is off to five days at a local children's camp, ALL ON HER OWN. We'll manage, but it is a big step.
