Soccer Equation: 4 Kids+2 Teams+ 2 Parents Coaching= Lots of Laughs!

We signed all the kids up for soccer through Kearns Rec. Hunter and Aidan are on a team and then Emery and Mason are on a team. Well one night while sitting at work I got a call to be the coach of the teams. If you know me I have a hard time saying no, especially when it comes to helping out. So I took on the roll, Ben is the assistant coach only because he has had drill and has it again soon before the season is over, so that means he couldn't be head. Anyhow.... These games are CRAZY! If you have every watched peewees play soccer you know what I am talking about! Aidan and Hunters team we are on the field running the entire time, telling kids to get up, stop playing in the dirt, stop hitting and kicking each other... basically Nursery on a soccer field! Its great though because you have the kids crying, some kids that are watching the birds and planes, and others that are carrying their stuffed animals around while they play. Next you have Mason and Emery's team, they are much more under control and only one of us have to run on the field the whole time! There still are tears and mix ups but not as comical as the younger kids. So here's a few pictures from Mason and Emery's last game. I will try and take some pictures tonight of Aidan and Hunters game but it's really hard to do when your running!


Emery hated playing her first game... she's been bribed and doing much better!

Emery and Mason are the ones running in the back, they're learning!


Ben out on the field telling the kids where to stand.


Emery is 7 and Mason is 8



Here's a picture my mom got of Hunter... I left the camera with her the first day... she was fired after I saw the pictures she got and that all of them but this one has her thumb in them!

We saw Carrie at the field on Saturday and found out that Hunter and Aidan will play against Parker! That should be a fun game! I'll keep ya posted!
