I’ve never understood why kids like trying to stand on the ball so much, but they all try to do it. Here’s a picture of one of my U8’s managing the balancing act quite nicely.

And yes, that’s Soccer Dad performing the #1 one duty of a soccer coach – tying cleats. Again, and again, and again. Some of these cleats you can triple knot and they STILL get untied!

If you could stand on a soccer ball – wouldn’t you?

Only if my insurance was paid up!

Well remember, when you’re that size, you don’t crash nearly as hard when you fall.

Snappy looking uniforms! Anyway, U-8s are a fun age group to coach. By the way – I seem to be STILL double-knotting my son’s cleats – and he’s a U-11!

We really like them. We got a great sponsor this year who was willing to pay the extra couple of dollars for the two tone uniforms. They’re from TeamWork Athletic. Our U10’s use the Denmark from Score Sports who have a lot of nice inexpensive uniforms.
