Triumph Soccer

So I talked to one of the P.T.'s at the clinic a while back and she told me all about a program a therapy student had started last year: Triumph Soccer. No matter your level of ability, you are welcome to play in this "league." They have four practices and one game! Today was the first practice and it was quite interesting to say the least! Each child is assigned a buddy (usually a therapist at the clinic or a therapy student), and in Clayton's case, he had THREE buddies! Of course he was loving the attention! He was in his walker while they played Simon Says and Red Light, Green Light, and then got in his chair for the "scrimmage." He did okay considering there were 100 mile an hour winds the whole time--it was freezing out there! He eventually kicked the ball on his own two or three times, so I'm hoping by gameday he'll have a better idea of what's going on! He was too darn worried about all the other kids and their walkers to pay attention to what he was supposed to be doing--which is the same problem he has at the clinic! And of course here are the pics. You should be able to click on them to enlarge them for better viewing.
