Savannah Celtic Football Club is holding a 'gear swap' event in late August.  Our hope is to encourage participation in recreational soccer for children and families that may have thought it wasn't an option due to expense.  Below is a flyer that hopefully explains everything.  But a quick summary is this:

Yesterday my four-year-old son played in his third soccer game of the season. He is very competitive, always wanting to win at everything. While he was playing goalie, a kid on the other team gave a good kick that sent the ball flying past my son, scoring a goal. My son was devastated. He cried, and his coach picked him up, hugged him, and carried him off the field. My husband and I went over and talked with our son a few times, but he just couldn't get over missing the ball. It didn't matter that he had blocked other kicks.

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s World Cup Soccer time. I know this because my husband has played soccer since he was born. I think he still has his stinky shin guards and cleats from when he was captain of the soccer team in college. So it’s his DUTY to watch as many World Cup games as possible. (It only comes around every four years, so whatev, knock yourself out, hon.)

During this World Cup, everyone has been talking about the vuvuzelas and how they are almost as annoying as the game of soccer.
