No one else volunteered...

We signed Kade up for another season of soccer, which starts in a couple weeks. And since no other parents on his team had volunteered to coach, guess who stuck his neck out on the line? and guess who he pegged as his assistant coach?

I am now officially the head coach of the Mighty Giants. I plan on turning this rag-tag bunch of seven boys into a lean, mean soccer machine. I've assigned my assistant coach Bobbie to all the behind-the-scenes critical details that come with any successful sports program, like making all the phone calls to parents, checking on rain out dates, dealing with any whiny kids, parents, etc. I'll be too busy working on offensive and defensive strategies to worry about that stuff.

Season opener is March 28 -- we'll keep ya posted!

Welcome to the wonderful world of kid sports!! What does Kade think of having his dad and mom as coaches?? (The usual reactions range from proud, embarrassed, delighted, worried etc.

Good luck, you two-- you will do fine. I think the basic rule is the kids are no big problem, only the parents(?)

Will also be watching spellbound for reports and pixs-- Love, Mom

Have you bought an official "Head Coach" whistle yet?

Is this going to be a sequel to Will Ferrell's "Kicking and Screaming?" I thought that was a great movie! Your assistant should record this for a comedic documentary! You might make some money off of it!
Have lots of fun!

You guys can use the "good cop, bad cop" routine.
