It's Upward Soccer time at our house! Every Saturday for the next two months will be spent out on a soccer field. Cooper LOVES soccer - and he's actually pretty good at it too. He's got crazy speed. O, on the other hand, enjoys it but only when she's playing certain positions. Ha ha - she's a trooper though, and I'm proud that she keeps at it.
Al and I are coaching O's team this year - which is funny since neither us know what we're doing. But, I can tell you, (and I'm sure Al would agree) we are having a GREAT time coaching these girls. I honestly wasn't sure what I was getting us into (yes, I volunteered Al - ha ha!) but I'm glad I did it. We are by far not the best team out there, but that's ok. The girls get along and seem to be having a good time. I had offered to help coach Cooper's team but with their practices at the same time on the same day and games at the same time some this season, I won't really get to help. I promised him that I would make it up to him and volunteer to coach his team next season. He'll be moving up out of the kindergarten/co-ed teams and into an all boys team. Talk about interesting! Ha ha!
We had our first game on Saturday - my team got stomped. No, STOMPED. Those girls on the other team showed no mercy whatsoever to my girls. I guess that's a good lesson to my team, but it would have been nice if the other team had eased up a little before the last 6 minutes of the game. We had no substitutions so the girls had to play the entire game and they got wore out. I think the game this weekend will be better though since they now know what to expect. At least that's what I'm hoping/praying/doing a dance for - I hope the first game isn't going to be a hint on how all our games will be going. That might make for a long season! Ha ha! Seriously though, the girls are doing great and I'm super proud of them.
