soccer
Claira and Dallen are both playing soccer this year again. So we travel into town at the very least 3 nights a week some weeks it is every night. Which leaves very little time for homework. They both play at the same time on the same days. That can be good and it can be bad. I try to watch the first half of Dallen's game and then watch the second half of Claira's game. So far it has been nice weather at soccer but I have a feeling that is all about to change.
Claira's coach has never coached soccer before. He is more of a football guy. He is not too bad though, he is learning. Luckily they have an assistant coach that has played in high school so that has helped. Her team is pretty split with girls that have played soccer for a while and brand spanking new girls. They did not do too well at the jamboree. It was hot and I think the girls got tired but man it felt like they had just given up. Well at least it felt like half of them had given up. I became that sideline Mom, out there yelling at the girls. At one point it became ridiculous and only 2 girls were up defending the goal and the other girls were all just standing around. It was bad.
Dallen of course is not afraid to go up against the bigger kids for the ball. Why does that not surprise me??? His coach is pretty good with the kids he has coached a couple times before so he knows what he is doing. They are not doing too bad as a team. They did great at their jamboree. They won all games until the last one. Just like Claira's team they were hot and tired and they just were not on top of their game. They played all bunched up together. This time I was not a crazy sideline Mom. Just a regular one.
So only one more month to go. Games every Tuesday and Thursday through the 27th of October. Fun times.... I turned into a soccer mom .... thank heavens I am not a mini van driving soccer mom though
