I get that but it's been great to see my daughter and her friend on the team get better

In the spring they were running around holding hands and afraid of the ball. With a season of experience giving them more confidence they're getting into the scrum to seek out the ball and have both scored multiple times three games into the season. Both are extremely pleased with themselves and have already said they want to be on the same team next spring (we still have five more games left anyway but they're bought in). I don't know how you get there, even with four year olds, without the structure of a game. Though obviously we don't keep score at this age.
