Soccer Has Started

It's going to be pretty easy-going this season. E has practices on Friday evenings from 5:30 till 7 and games on Saturday at 1:30. R has practice on Mondays and Fridays from 6: 30 till 8 and one game at various times (and locations) per weekend.

Last year when R was on the Pool team he also had to be on the regular Recreational team. This year the kids can only choose one: Recreational or Competitive. So since he is only on one team, he only has one game per weekend, instead of the two and sometimes three he had last year. So this year, all together the B family will have two games per weekend, instead of three and sometimes four. Excuse me while I break for a moment to do a little happy dance...

We'll see how it goes with practices, however. The coach also coaches at University of New Haven, and is taking graduate classes, so he is pretty insistent that this is the only time he can fit us in. So despite practice being scheduled for 6: 30 till 8, it only went till 7:35 since by then it was pitch black. And of course, within a couple of weeks it will be black out at 7:00. One hour of practice a week, when the kids are supposed to be getting three, is not going to cut it. I do have to say though, that he seems like he's going to be a pretty good coach.
