Having a BALL at Sports Class

To keep busy this summer I enrolled Ben & Kate in a few classes. One is a Little Tykes Sports class at a nearby rec center for 2.5-3.5 year olds.

Here they are with Coach Pat- he is a tennis fanatic and teaches tennis to preschoolers for a living and has the patience of Job I tell you!

 And yes...that is a train engineer hat Ben is wearing- his choice of course. I pick my battles!

In the class they've mainly learned about soccer and tennis. They've learned all the parts of a tennis racket and how to hold it. Here they are kicking their "soccer" balls, trying to stop the ball with their feet and not use their hands!

GOOOOAAALLLLLL!

Coach Pat has a drill where the kids pretend they are different birds then stop quickly and be a "flamingo" balancing on one foot. Here they are being humming birds.

 High Fives for Coach after class!
