Soccer Report, End of the Season!

[przed]

It was our last regular season game today, and we ended in a 3 - 3 draw with a really tough team. Though it was a really tough team with a replacement coach who kept fielding the wrong number of players. (I got to play the experienced old hand and help him out with the logistics a couple of times, which I found hilarious.)

Except for one of our problem kids who's barely shown up most of the season, everyone has shown a lot of improvement over the season and seem to be enjoying themselves.

We've got one last "playoff" game in a week and a half, though at this age that means you show up for one game and then get pizza and a trophy.

I'm actually looking forward to coaching again next year! Shocking. And I'm trying to get the Sweetie to sign up as my official assistant coach, though he's holding back. Partly because everyone already usually assumes he's the head coach--which is hilarious as he's the least sporty guy on the planet and knows virtually nothing about footie--and he figures that would only get worse if he had an official coach shirt.

And now I'm going to finish packing up. Tomorrow we leave for Chicago and WorldCon!

ETA: Just checked, and I'm the very last person listed in the Chicon membership list. Let's hear it for that Z V combination!

I am going to miss the soccer reports, i always find them highly entertaining, in fact, my friends will miss the soccer reports that i verbally relate to them, they are in awe of the scorelines and find the enthusiasm fantastic. Have fun at WorldCon :D

Go, team!

Congratulations for making it through the season as coach, and finding your enthusiasm increasing! *g* That's really awesome.

Enjoy Chicago and WorldCon! It should all be fabulous!

Have fun at WorldCon! Say hi to Chicago for me (I know Due South wasn't actually filmed there, but I associate it with it!)

And yay for coaching - that seems to have worked out so well and it'll be so great for all those kids to have that opportunity *g*

I need to post this somewhere before I forget it and it gets lost in the depths of the internet! Because a while ago we spoke about the serious lack of How/Rob-pics, remember? But loooooooooook what I've found! It's a beautiful Howard-and-Rob-are-having-fun picture! (Unfortunately it's not the best quality, but oh well...)



Also: pizza AND a trophy? Brilliant! Who needs a trophy when they can have pizza? Jokes aside - welllllllll done, you! Remember how you felt when you started this? And now look at you - Coach Zed! \o/

Hope you're having fun in Chicago!!
