Na Keiki O Kane'ohe AYSO Region 113 U-5

What a great day to enjoy a family outing! I originally went out to the Kaneohe District Park this morning to cover a story on skateboarding. But next to the skate park, I noticed a lot of keikis, parents and a lot of small goal nets spread out all over the field. After asking some questions, I found out that it was the Kaneohe Region 113 AYSO U5. They just recently started their season which runs from January 9 to February 13. It consists of 160 kids broken into 3 groups, and the idea is teach kids the art of soccer. Some of the warm up exercises include Jun Ken Po Train, Octopus Tag and Throw In Practice and good sportsmanship. It was hard at times for me to concentrate on shooting the kids because it was so much fun to watch. The participation of the parents was awesome, such great support for the kids. AYSO has been around in Kaneohe for the past 32 years, and this season's coach is Master Coach Kent Goya (photo, top left), and the regional commissioner is Nella Sword (photo, top right). They were both very nice to let me photo shoot their practice today, and were also nice enough to share information on their organization. More information go to http://kaneoheayso.org. Much mahalo and thank you both for giving me the opportunity to become part of the Kaneohe Region 113 AYSO U5 today. More photos "click" here.
