Well my life at the soccer fields has officially started back up again this weekend with my youngest daughter Amanda. They played in a tournament an hour away from my home. She finally is getting to play a foward position and in the 5 games they played she scored 5 goals out of the 12. I enjoy watching but hate sitting out in the cold wet weather. I am sure there are plenty of people who can relate. I don't hate the game of soccer, but I do wish I never started allowing my girls to play Competitive Club soccer. It is expensive and very time consuming.
Heres how it goes you have try-outs first week in July and then practices start right up then they play up until Christmas break and then start practicing the first part of January and don't stop until end of June. So basically they play non stop all year long!!!!! During Christmas break they usually hit you up to have them play some indoor soccer. Your family vacations are when you have tournamnets cause well you can't plan them because of SOCCER. No matter how cold or hot the weather gets they have them practice. Some of the parents live breath and eat soccer and think having them play competitive soccer is going to get them the soccer scholarship for college. Alot of parents are lead to beleive that the recruiters only come out the clubs to scout the kids, but they do go to the high schools also. Besides not every one of the kids playing club are going to get scholarships. I just wonder what happened to letting our kids play for fun? As long as my girls are having fun playing that's all that matters to me! I have seen parents yell at their kids for not making goals or letting a girl get by them. Parents take it way to serious and push the kids to the point that they don't enjoy playing and they quit.
Wow I so went off track about my weekend. Well any how the weekend ended with my boyfriend becoming very sick with a cold and my 13 year old daughter also becoming ill. So last night I made the trip to Wal-greens for cold medicine and to stock back up on tylenol and motrin for the fever. I guess I am in for a long week with sick kids, cause it never fails they spread their illness to each other and sometimes they share with me. Aren't they sweet?!?!

Sorry it took me awhile to get back to your page. I can't believe that their soccer lasts year round. WOW, sounds like fun! There has been a lot of sickness lately. My wife had it, then she gave it to me and the kid. It is a vicious cycle.
