My son likes the team practice sessions better than the game. This was his second year in soccer. He had one year in t-ball. He has asked to sign up for a couple of teams this year. He's just finished soccer this year, and has signed up for basketball and t-ball. He told me it's important. I asked him why it's important, he said, "It's because I'm on the team."
The first year I saw a lot more of that digging in the dirt and staring into space. This year it was like he knew a little more about what was going on. This year the bigger problem was the team running around in the bleachers too much before the game so they'd mostly run out of steam before the end of the game.
There was a funny, last year, one of the kids moms told me her son only liked the practice, not the game, "because they keep taking the ball from me." lol., that's the point of the game.
