Soc-it-to-me-coach

In August, both Will and Ilee played soccer. This was Will's 3rd season playing and Ilee's first. Will moved up to U8 league. In this league they play with 6 players on each side with one being a goalie. In the U6 league which Ilee played in, they have 4 players on each side and no goalie. Their field is smaller than the U8. Keeping the coaching tradition alive I was the coach for both. I had coached Will's team the first two years. Our week for the month of August was practice on Sundays. Ilee had games on Mondays and Wednesdays and Will had games on Tuesdays. His season went through September. Both kids had a fun season (so did the coach). It seemed the soccer camp at the beginning of the summer paid off, especially for Ilee. Ilee finally learned by the end of the season that she was not suppose to throw the ball into herself. You can see from the pictures that she needed a little restraint.
