I may or may NOT have mentioned this.. but my wife and I figured that it was not only good to have our son Ayden sign up for soccer, but that we should ALSO be the coaches for the team..
Call us crazy..
Call us insane.
Field clean up day was this past weekend.. The season starts Monday with a 7pm practice..
Yes, there will be strangeness… arguments.. (There already was an arugment over what dimension the field should be and whether it was being lined correctly or not — wonder if the same people who argued saw the abominble women’s game in the outfield of a baseball field?) But it will be rewarding..
We both want to be involved as much as possible with our son’s life as he gets older .. we also love soccer. It seemed like the perfect match.
….but there will be those moments when you question whether you’re in over your head.
The first moment for me could very well be tomorrow night when a group of 4 and 5 year olds stare at me like an alien as I tell them to stop touching the soccer ball with their hands..
It will be fun.
And YouTube will get plenty of hits from me … “how to coach kids soccer”….
