Chase's Itty Bitty Sports Sampler

Chase has just started a new sports season with the YMCA (basketball), and I realized that I never posted anything about his "Itty Bitty Sports Sampler" season that ended in December! The Sampler season was really fun: 3 weeks of soccer, 3 weeks of t-ball, and 3 weeks of flag football. Mostly Chase wanted to play t-ball and that's all he talked about... but he really did have fun playing all 3 sports! We were very skeptical about flag football in particular... I mean, really, football for 3 and 4 year olds?! But that actually ended up being the best sport of all! They just lined the kids up, let them take turns handing the ball to each other and then told them to run down the field as fast as they could! It was like a big game of tag as the other team would try to grab the ball runner's flag. So they all got lots of energy out, and most of them got the chance to score at least once during the games. I love the sports at the Y because they're so laid back (unlike some other "leagues" that I've heard about for 3 and 4 year olds: so intense for that age!)... they just play 1 game a week and practice for a few minutes before each game. No extra practices and no keeping score! Chase really loves it too.
