The toddlers enter the soccer field with smiles and laughs finding time to high five their coach as they kick away. Today is a big day for the Cottontail’s. It’s the fifth week of class which marks the start of a new found independence for the young soccer players. They have spent the past four weeks with their parent/guardian building their motor, listening and social skills and are now confident enough to play soccer games free from the assistance of their parent/guardian. Through the direc- tion of the coach, class begins with the parents/guardians happily standing off to the side as they watch their youngsters explore their new found freedom. Although the games are kept simple to encourage achievement, they are filled with creativity and fun. The coach encourages imagination as they take journeys to space, the jungle, the ocean and many other places. During the game “flying gumballs”, one Cottontail discovers the power of his kick…“Coach, Coach! I did it! I made the gumball fly in the sky!” he says with a huge smile on his face.
