Soccer Day!

So I’m out at Morgan’s Grove Park this morning and I hear a man call to his wife and say “what is today?” I’m assuming he meant what the date was, since it was pretty obviously Saturday. Before his wife could answer, their child said “it’s Soccer Day!” and thrust his fist into the air joyfully.

And so it was, soccer day.

I spent six hours taking pictures of children six years of age and under, playing soccer. Some are deadly serious, others are just out for a run in the grass, and still others just astonish me by standing and watching – while IN the game! But they all seem to have fun. I enjoy the younger kids, because there doesn’t seem to be that compulsion to score, score, score. It’s just about having fun.
