We have a few weeks off between summer and fall soccer. While I didn't necessarily love having Makin out running around for an hour when it was 100 degrees, it was, overall, a great experience. Because Coach Ian took on the girl's team, Makin worked with Coach Andy, who is an absolutely amazing coach. He knows how to challenge them to the next level, yet if they need some one-on-one correction/help, he gets eye-level and helps break it down for them. He is also a great encourager.
Because Makin felt the other classes were easy, this was different in the fact he was challenged mentally and physically to achieve more. He liked this, for the most part. He is a bit timid when they scrimmage at the end, because he wants to get rid of the ball when there are three kids coming at him, which is the case pretty much the entire scrimmage. Most of the boys in this group have played a lot of soccer and are much more aggressive than Makin has encountered yet. This mom is a bit nervous for his first game (Sept 10th) but hoping he will enjoy his fall season.
