here's how it started. we signed her up. we waited. we never heard from her coach. then we got word ... there is no coach for her team. they needed someone to volunteer so that the team wouldn't have to be split up and they would end up on a team with more kids, meaning less playing time.
we signed up with CSSC so that she would actually LEARN soccer. and now there's no coach. it came to the night before the first game and if no one volunteered by noon that day, they would have to combine teams. i thought and prayed about it all day. and i volunteered.
so she may not really learn much. but she has a coach. and a team. and gets to play.
today was our first game. our first time to even see our team. and meet our players. needless to say, it's going to be a HUGE learning experience for all of us. i made the other parents fully aware that i had no clue what i was doing, but i wanted our children to be able to get playing time. so here i was. there are also several families from other countries on our team. yep. big language barrier. we have spanish speakers. indian. and korean. most speak english to some extent, but i have to make sure my ears are listening good! today was a lot of fun!!! i cannot wait to see how the season turns out.
