Let me give you a back story. In the midst of the worldwide movement of Soccer (Football in Jamaica), the phenomenon has still not reached my hometown. I grew up with no exposure to soccer and last time I checked, it has still not reached rural Illinois. So, in raising my kids, I have had very little interest in exposing them to Soccer. But, we moved to Jamaica where soccer is king. Last week, my kids exposure to soccer continued to expand. The Hope College team is led by the soccer coach, they brought a bunch of soccer gear, and they played lots of soccer. To make a long story short, I think my boys have been completely indoctrinated as soccer is becoming an everyday thing. In the midst of March Madness, I am trying to reorient them to the real king of sport, but I think I am losing the battle. You can check out some more pictures by clicking here.
