Last year the boys played soccer on a Toronto City Parks and Recreation soccer team. It was great. They got full uniforms, refs and coaches, and medals at the end of the season. The age was 4-6, so as Son One was 6 and Son Two was 4, they actually got to play together.
As they grow up, the 22 months between them will mean that they won't be playing on the same teams anymore. This year they are even playing in different leagues because of how the schedule worked out. Sort of makes me a little sad... I love watching them play together. Son One is actually very considerate, often passing the ball to his younger brother to try to help him score. He is much less considerate to his brother off the field.
Soccer is starting up again, and it is such an amazing sport for getting your kids active. I am so not a soccer player (so please don't be offended) but as far as I can tell, there isn't even much skill required at this age. You run, you kick. Simple as that. Everyone loves to score, and no one seems to notice, let alone care, who wins.
