So a week before Lucas was to start his first spring soccer game Steve and I got a call from the
AYSO Regional Commissioner letting us know that we were the new coaches for Lucas' soccer team. We knew our old coach was leaving the team and we said we would consider taking his place if there were no other volunteers.......
That first week before our first practice and game was pretty stressful with us trying to get applications and testing completed as well as contacting the parents of our team members to let them know we had our first game in less than a week.
Since I did play soccer in high school and Steve has no experience with the sport, I have been the one to take over the coaching responsibilities. Since that first week it has been pretty laid back and has not required too much time.
As you can tell it was also pretty stressful for Landon and Grandma Judy as well....
jk. I am just happy that Landon has not had a meltdown and ran out onto the field to mommy yet as he did the whole time during our first practice.
Not that Lucas is keeping track or anything.....but we did win our first game of the season, with him scoring one of the numerous goals.
The second game however did not go so well. We had all four of our players on the field against the three attending players of the other team and still only managed to score one goal. Even though in our league at this age we don't usually have a goalie, I decided to try it out if for no other reason than giving our goalie a chance to catch his breath.
