Saturday was the first game of the Spring soccer season for the 10 year old Strikers. To set the scene, you must know that it has rained on and off for three days prior to the game. Game morning there is a definate, and purposeful
rain coming down. We go check out the website to find that the game is still on. Arriving at the field we find ourselves in mud..it is drizzling rain and the temp is 47 degrees.
The boys are loving this! There is a huge mud puddle in the center of the field and lots of sloppy mud and patches of grass everywhere else.
The whole game was in slow motion.. the mud made for the ball getting stuck often and the boys slipping and sliding. There was lots of laughter and silliness
built in and the parents had a great time sitting in the rain and laughing in spite of ourselves...Brian scored a goal and assisted on another. He celebrated his goal by taking a big slide down the center of the field!
The game ended in a tie, with everyone ready to clean up and warm up!
Sweeties car needed a good cleaning and I spent lots of time hosing down clothing and shoes before puttting them in the wash.
Welcome Soccer season!
