Soccer

I've been tempted many times to write a post (or posts) dumping on the place where I live. There are a lot of stories to tell, many of which I bet most of you wouldn't believe or would think were embellished.

No crazy stories today. Just the opposite. Something I am totally proud about my community:

The soccer league!

It is well organized by a couple of friendly, funny, yet professional dudes in our area. The league is super family friendly and emphasizes participation and fun rather than competition and fine-tuned skills. There is a place for that, (like the republican party) but it's not for my inhibited 7 year old or my beginner 4 year old. The coaches are just dads and moms trying to give the kids a positive experience. Maybe everyone is this happy about their soccer leagues, I don't know. But I just love ours!

#2 is the smiling blond boy

I mean, look at #1's form. So wrong! Her confidence would have been immediately shattered had an aggressive coach tried to correct her.

Human tunnel to celebrate the win.....or loss.....who cares! they don't keep score! (what 'progressives')#1 is the blond in the pig tails - not the blond with the super long braids

seriously, look how happy those kids are.
