I sent this letter out to a bunch of parents and their 12 and under daughters: Hey Team, ARE YOU READY? We’re going to have our first team practice this Saturday, August 20th at Chaparossa Park. Please be ready to start at 9:30 AM and we’ll get done by 11:00. We’re going to work pretty hard, so bring some water or sports drink. Also, please bring a soccer ball, your soccer shoes and wear shorts. You won’t need shin guards for this practice as we aren’t planning to kick each other in the shins - we won’t be doing any one-on-one drills that involve contact. Let’s meet at the northeast corner of the new artificial turf field. Look for Coach Steve. I’ll be the one with the clipboard and whistle. Jeez, what’d I get myself into? I am admitedly the world’s worst soccer player. But they were short on coaches. You know what they say about AYSO? All Your Saturdays are Ours! That’s my big ride day, and Sunday for the big run.
