Well, it is offical. As of Friday evening, Kim and I are soccer parents.
For Christmas, Juliet’s grandma Saint signed her up for a ten week soccer skills training course on Friday evenings. It is a fun class where the kids are on teams of4-8 kids and they do 8 different stations/drills.

For the first night, we brought the family and Kim got to meet a mom who’s son is on Juliet’s team (Cobras). We also got extreemely wet as the practice started in a light drizzle and the rain built over time to a pretty steady rain.

The Cobras, and their team Dad.
While Kim was on the sidelines meeting a new friend, snaping pictures and counting heads (it is easier when the kids are all huddled under a big golf unbrella), I was on the field as an instructor.
It was a lot of fun running a scrimmage (8 different times) , meeting and encouraging the kids to go after the ball (Juliet needed no encouragement as she felt as though she was entitled to keep the ball at all times, nice and aggessive, but not mean about it) and meeting the team moms and dads, who take their team from station to station with a short drink break in between.

Thanks for reading.
