Red Barons Update What an oustanding season of soccer! I have mixed feelings - I'm happy that we don't have to endure the wet and cold anymore, for a few months, but I'm also really sad that the season has gone by so quickly and that me and Evan won't be out on the field, with the kids, doing what we enjoy doing - playing and coaching soccer! We've had so much fun this year that we're considering Spring Soccer again! A few of you might remember me saying, at the end of the last Spring Season, that I didn't want to do Spring Soccer anymore because of the weather. But...working with the boys, seeing them learn and progress, and having as much fun as we've had, I'm excited about the opportunity to play in the Spring again and so is Evan! I know it's early but...any takers? Of course, we'll only be playing if we have enough boys who want to play.
Our game on October 20th - I missed this game but heard many good things. It sounds like the boys really stepped up and played well against a good team. THANK YOU COACH MATT! Matt has been a great help out there, during the practices and games. Thanks Matt for your time, support and friendship. Your contribution to the team has a huge effect on the amount of learning and fun the boys get out of our games and practices and I know they enjoy having you there!
Our game last Saturday - What a mess it was out there! It was so funny to watch the boys play in the mud. It was a whole new coaching experience for us, as we had to spend a majority of the time telling the boys that the mud wouldn't hurt them, before they'd start playing their best soccer! It took us three quarters to convince them of this but they finally figured it out. The other team came out to play and took advantage of our timidness and fear of getting dirty! We pulled it together and ended up catching up on goals at the end. Of course we don't keep score but we definately found more success toward the end of the game!! :-) By the way, if you took pictures, can you please email them to me? I know there were several parents taking pictures and I'd like to add one or two of those to our blog!
A special thank you to all of you who have helped throughout the season. I'll talk about this more at our upcoming party but, as busy as I've been, I couldn't have done it without you! We've not only got a great group of boys, we've also got YOU amazingly supportive parents who help make it all happen! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
See you all at the Team Party this Saturday, November 3rd!
Thanks,
Coach Ben
