Last Kick
I've got mixed feelings about the youth football league having finished last Sunday. I'm looking forward to reclaiming Sundays as a day of rest. However, there have been so many great things that have come from the relationships that coaches, referees & assistants have built with their players so it's sad to see the season end. For three months of the year I get out every Sunday to see children and youth have a great time playing soccer! We work hard to see them have fun. Some highlights from last weekend's final games:
- Great weather! Cool, overcast skies.
- Having morning friendly games with a dozen teams.
- Playing fun games and eating snacks.
- Hosting 6 referees and volunteers from out of town.
- Enjoying watching the final games and seeing how the kids have improved.
- The 'organised chaos' of the tophy presentations.
- Seeing the Under 13s all show up for the champion's dinner in their winner's T-shirt, medals & soccer shorts. Hearing the appropriately rowdy celebrations over dinner.
- Talking with some of the teenage girls about playing and coaching.
Last kick last weekend tho... now it's time for me to run away to Europe for a holiday.
