On Saturday's Logan plays in the timbits league at the dry pond in Killarney (26th Ave and 28th Street at 10am if you want to come out and watch!) His team is the RED ROVERS.
Before they start each practice they all circle around and cheer "RED ROVERS! Arf Arf Arf!"
Uhhh, Logan.... I don't think this next picture helps disprove daddy's theory that soccer is a girly game.
We were a little worried that Logan would be the worst player on his team, and that Mark and I would be super embarrased everytime we had to go cheer him on (I know, we're great parents). But he's not AWFUL. No David Beckham (the only soccer name I know - and thats only because he's married to Posh Spice... go Spice Girls!!)
I really like Logan's two coaches. They are VERY organized, prepared and dedicated to the team. They get the kids excited about every drill and aren't afraid to make fools of themselves infront of the other parents.
At the end of each practice the coaches organize a game against another team. Today's game was against the white team... who I think is one of the youngest teams. Not surprisingly three white kids ended up crying after the big mean red rovers pushed them out of the way to get to the ball.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays Logan plays soccer and Tball in Wildwood. (They alternate nights). Mark took him to his first Tuesday game. On this team Logan is the youngest player (most kids are 5 already). Again, Mark didn't have to stick his head in the sand or pretend he was there cheering for some other kid. Logan even came really close to scoring a goal, but missed the net by a foot.
Tball pictures to come. (Neither Mark or I have been to one of his Tball games yet due to work and sickness).

So, Mark thinks soccer is the girliest sport? What about volleyball?
Logan has so much energy - it's a good thing you have him in organized sports that require a lot of running. Dad and I were pretty proud of how he did at Tball on Thursday - he paid attention to the coaches and did what they asked (mostly anyhow!). Meanwhile, Katie exhibited some pretty good skills of her own on the sidelines!
