SOCCER

There are several schools in our neighborhood and I was walking by one of the playgrounds the other day and a group of about 20 boys were playing soccer. they were probably 8-10 yrs. old. their ball-handling skills and overall control were incredible. some of them never took their hands out of their pockets while they played. for just a casual playground game they look like such graceful and physically sophisticated athletes. it was so natural to them. Those 9 yr olds would kick my high school varsity soccer team's ass. On that day i didn't have my camera but today i did and there was a small group of boys messing around with a ball. It was only for a few minutes before recess ended so this was all i got but you can get a sense of what i mean.
