Soccer Season

I was hoping to post a few pictures from the kids first soccer game...unfortunately we were rained out. I say 'we' because (foolish) me talked my friend Kelly into coaching the kids team with me. The only thing I know about soccer is that you may not touch the ball with your hands. But, I figured that for a team of 1st and 2nd grade boys and girls, it couldn't be THAT hard!

Kelly's two boys are the same age as our kids, so they are all playing in the same soccer group this year. The Rec. commision always has a hard time finding coaches (and I use that term lightly - especially when speaking of myself!) and I knew this was the only year that my kids would actually play on the same team, so I volunteered - and begged Kelly to join me!

Our team is quite the Motley Crue! We only have 10 kiddos and one has already quit on us. One is in a cast and won't be able to play for a game or two. You do the math...8 kids are on the field at a time. I'm sure we'll be playing short a few times this season!

We have had several practices and a scrimmage with another team. When we woke up Saturday morning, I was actually nervous! Well, the rain took care of that! The kids were bummed, but I was relieved. So, when we DO finally have a game, I'll be sure to let you know how it went.
