Rising from the ashes

Sadly I have a confession to make. Losing my entire team hurt a lot more than it probably should have and I wasn't very sure about the whole coaching thing coming into it this season. Well after only a single practice we played our first game this morning and all I can say is WOW!! I can actually say with certainty that my new roster as a whole is considerably stronger than my previous group of girls. I'm honestly sad to see them all gone but I'm thankful to have the new team I've been given. I can't wait to see how this season pans out!!!

And then there was one.....

It's time again to return to the pitch with my girls and start the Spring season. Sadly none of my team returned for this season (other than my daughter of course) but a team that lost their coach completed my roster with only a single rookie player. Monday I ordered jerseys (wow that was expensive) and HOPEFULLY we will have them in time for our first game on the 24th. With Spring Break falling right in the way of our practice sessions we're only going to in two before the first game but I'm hoping with 5/6 returning players we can just brush up on the basics and then buckle down AFTER the game. Here's hoping for another fun season of football and all the thrills and spills it has to offer!!!
