Yes, you heard me...Coach Mom and we're not talking about me wearing designer clothes. Damon had his first soccer meeting/game/practice today. The parents and kids met on the field at 9:00 this morning awaiting our coach. I found myself and one other dad on the field kicking the ball around with the kids when we were approached by one of the employees of the "camp" who was holding a bag of balls. He asked us who our coach was, the dad and I looked at each other and shrugged. "Okay" he said "I'll be right back". The next thing we knew another guy with the soccer company came down to the field and explained to all of the parents that the guy who was originally supposed to coach our team could not be reached therefore it was up to us to designate a coach.
After much deep discussion one of the mom's volunteered me as she watched me playing soccer with the kids and thought I was "pretty good." Ha! I haven't played soccer since middle school! After the dad who was on the field with me said he would help I was willing to take the challenge. We made it through our first practice with no time to plan and to top it off we actually played a small game against another team. Who does that? First time ever meeting your team and we play a game! The kids had fun, we tied the game, and we have a lot of work to do.
Oh did I mention, Damon does not like the idea of me being the coach? Yeah, he wants all of my attention...geez.
