Coaching

Last year I coached Missy's volleyball team. (It's okay to laugh here.) We actually won a game or two, and the girls had fun. This year, I was pleased to NOT be asked to coach. They have a real coach this time--she played in high school (or college, or both ?) so she is much better at helping the girls know what to do. On Monday they won their game and everyone played so well. Today, the coach was out of town, so I agreed to fill in for her. The girls came SO close to winning--both teams had each won a set and we came close in the third, 12 to 15. It was a disappointment. On Saturday they have a clinic, then one more game before the tournament. Missy really loves playing, and she's improving; and she says she wants to play in Jr. High next year. I can't help but be relieved that her season is nearly over. (One less thing we have to run to.)

Buddy's football season ended (whew!), and they lost their tournament game last night. He had lots of fun, though, and they won several games.

Bug's soccer continues until the end of October, though I don't know what they're going to do by then because it's already starting to get dark by the end of their games...not to mention freezing cold. His team is pretty good, too, although Bug needs to keep his mind in the game more, be a little more aggressive, and a bit faster. He can really run fast when he tries.
