I enjoyed the soccer team much more because of its team aspect. We had a great group of girls and the coach was super supportive. But we weren't the highest ranked team. The other teams from the suburbs had private coaches, nice uniforms, and they were really aggressive about winning. Just imagine a bunch of girls tripping the other team even though it was illegal. I think if we were in one of those teams, I would have not enjoyed the experience as much. While K likes to play soccer with her dad, we haven't sign up for soccer yet. We might try volleyball when she's a bit older. That tends to be less aggressive and it's easier to notice if there are illegal moves. K loves swimming so we may continue with that until then. There are great benefits playing on a team. Lots of bonding and working together for a goal.Joyful Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428785096597190176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988931737585001828.post-43085366109092800382012-04-03T04:17:48.986-07:002012-04-03T04:17:48.986-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joyful Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428785096597190176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988931737585001828.post-1882675951083935012012-04-02T20:29:51.785-07:002012-04-02T20:29:51.785-07:00I'm not a big sports fan and neither is Jeff (...I'm not a big sports fan and neither is Jeff (at least of watching them), but I do enjoy playing them, especially with my kids.<br /><br />That'd be hard with him being the coach, but it sounds like you're handling it the right way.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988931737585001828.post-12356295742913128602012-04-02T08:26:17.547-07:002012-04-02T08:26:17.547-07:00I admit that I am NOT a big fan of team sports and...I admit that I am NOT a big fan of team sports and neither is my husband. I think that focus on athletic abilities in the United States is almost pathetic. However, I do acknowledge that sports are great in leading healthy lives. I hope Selena enjoys her baseball team!Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.com
