Guess what? Now I'm in charge of eleven 5th/6th graders' soccer season. We've had two practices and two games and I've done a whole lot of yelling from the sidelines. (It is all I can do not to run out on the field to play myself.)
Whitney has become a really good goalie and is a great Forward when she chooses to run. She scored a perfect goal during last week's game!
It's kind of amusing to be a coach for a Rec Center team because we don't require a whole lot. It's not a super competitive league like the kind parents pay a ton of money for their kids to join, yet at this age level it seems like we should be seeing some good progress and skills happening.
Who knows what this season will bring?

Go Whitney Go.
I'm glad you're doing this Jill. You only have a few more years to be punished by soccer.
I admire you for this because I could never take it on!
You look like you've lost weight! I realize that's a loaded compliment. Regardless of scale numbers, you look great in that photo.
Way to go Jill. If nothing else, great blog material and great stories when Whitney is grown. Here's to a good season!
I have wanted to coach for volleyball and basketball but with Jason's travel schedule I don't dare. I think it's great you coach, my kids feel cheated that me nor Jason can do it.
I wouldn't even know where to start with coaching soccer. Way to be.
I love that photo of you coaching the girls! Beautiful picture of Whitney, too.
I wouldn't have the first idea of what to do.
