Footie!

[przed]

I have just survived coaching my first U6 soccer game by myself! Footie!Mark approves!



We got killed--0 - 6! thank Christ they don't really keep score at this age--but Ros and the other kids had fun, and so did I. But I think I'm going to draft the Sweetie to help with player rotation next time because there's no way I can do that and pay attention to what's happening on the field.

To celebrate, have a Take That Footie Pic Spam.

Howard in a football jersey, which is the closest I could find to him on a pitch.


Even on a football pitch, Jason runs like he does on stage.

Determined!Mark is determined. (I love this pic. It's everything I love about Mark.)


Mark taking on Damon Albarn.


Robbie can have the last pic.

Congrats on doing this for the kidlets. Since I've never coached a thing, I admire you. Now I was a Girl Scout leader. LOL! My youngest played football/soccer and she loved it. She was pretty good at it also and since I'm so unsportsable, I was impressed. :)

I've been an unofficial assistant coach the last two years. I reckoned it was time to give it a go for real. Plus, Ros has been pushing me to coach from the start. (I'm the sporty parent. The Sweetie is supportive, but has no interest in sports whatsoever.)

I've been toying with doing the Girl Guide leader thing. With my copious spare time. ;-)
