Weekly Roundup – Soccer Madness Edition
This fall, my wife and I are coaching three soccer teams between us. I’m coaching our oldest son’s U10 team, and my wife is coaching Sons #2 and #3 in U8 and U6. Fortunately, Son #4 isn’t yet old enough to play so we still has a tiny bit of sanity left.
On Saturday mornings, my wife has back-to-back practices at 9AM and 10AM, and then I have practice at 11AM, so… I’m going to do my best to crank out this weekly roundup before I have to leave…
