We decided to sign up Nate for soccer. We were really excited and we did it through the YMCA since he still was 3 years old when he started. We can only do little kickers. We picked a Saturday so Daddy could take him to the practices. We all get ready to go as a family. Get there and we couldn't find out team. Finally we found the lead director and to our amazement they changed days of practice and never called us. So we had to break it to Nate that we wouldn't play soccer that day and have to go home. Big fail. Then we made our mad calls to the YMCA and got 1/2 off of what we paid. The bad part is that they were Friday afternoons at 5:00. This time and day was not what we wanted because that means Dad couldn't go and here I am dragging Nate and having to chase after Wes and tell him he can't play ball. So I put all my feelings aside because this is what Nate wants to do...we think. So I put Wes in the daycare (which he cried the whole time) and tried to find where this little kickers practice. It is in tiny little fence in back yard with sewer drains and a big hill. Not my idea of a "soccer field". We get there (and remember we already missed the first practice due to they never called us) and they call roll and never call Nate's name. Then we got that all straight. Then he started practice and it was way over my head. I never have played soccer and he was going so fast. I was like hold on I have to sit here and teach my 3 year old because your not explaining any directions and just doing everything so FAST!!! Lets just say I spent the whole practice chasing Nate and trying to explain to him what to do because the coaches didn't assist with anything. It really wasn't for the age of 3 and it was the parents doing all the work. So I made Daddy Brad go to the next one and he was not happy either with the whole situation. Needless to say Nate never wanted to go and we didn't force it because it was the worst set up we have ever seen. We never were having games either so the whole thing was a big mess. Guess we learned as parents for our first sign up for a sport.
