Organized Sports Fun

Victor and Zeke now play soccer games each Saturday.

So far, the quality of the game has depended on the skill of the other team. A more skillful opponent results in a much better game overall.

Victor grasped what he was supposed to do right off the bat in the first game. He became frustrated by the other team's success and focused on booting the ball away from his team's goal. When he was finally successful, he threw up his arms and yelled "YES!" Then he bear-hugged Zeke (see photo) and swung him around while the coach nicely yelled to them that the game was still going.

Zeke took a couple of games to warm up, and today made a nice play by dribbling down the field about five feet. It was a slo-mo dribble, and he seemed surprised by it. He likes to wave at me.

The teams play four on four, which leaves about half the team free to amuse itself at any given time. Today's off-field amusement for Victor and three others was Spiders and Flies. Victor was the Spider.

Then they played Birds and Worms. First, they were all birds. Then, Victor was a worm.
