Lakewood Recreation Department offers a series of classes for younger kids called Smart Start. They cover a variety of sports, but Ben picked soccer for the first class. It was 6 weeks of learning the basics of soccer--kicking, dribbling, throw ins etc. It was led by coach Joe. He has been playing soccer for 50+ years and he is absolutely wonderful. He has more patience than anyone I've ever met. He was inspiring, knowledgeable and the kids love him. Ben had a great time with the class and it was a great opportunity to get out some extra energy. It ended last Friday, but a new class will start up in a couple weeks. This one covers a little bit of everything. He'll review soccer and learn about baseball, basketball and one other sport to be determined. We might have a future pro on our hands!
