Soccer

Well, big soccer day today.
DD's team didn't do well, but actually played much better than they have before. This is their first time playing in a much more competitive class so we (the coaches) were fairly pleased.
DS#2's game overlapped with DD's and was about 40 miles away so I missed it. They won 3-0.
DS#1's team is well, hurting. They play full side competitive soccer and they only fielded 10 boys today. They played strong for much of the first half but then things started falling apart. Fortunately, this is a pre-season game. Unfortunately, their full roster is only 12 boys right now, one of whom is a new name on the list that just registered. That boy was offered a spot by the coach after a mid-season try-out. I guess the coach has made 3 other offers too, but one boy already said no because his friend didn't get an offer. It is going to be a very painful season if they can't get a few more boys. The worst part is, the boys we do have are pretty good for the division they are in and they both play well together and get along well. The team is small enough already that the coach doesn't want to accept a player that he thinks might not fit in well as it could hurt the chemistry they have.

Anyway, enough of that.

I have an idea burning in my head right now that needs to get out before I can get some sleep.
