The Vipers!

I'm not sure how it happened, but Tyler and I ended up as the coaches of Max's soccer team this fall! We opted for AYSO again this year even though I had vowed to never to do it again. I was hoping a new area would change my opinion. Sadly, it did not. My opinion of AYSO is that it is unorganized and therefore kind of frustrating. Anyway... back to the coaching!

Tyler did the majority of the coaching for the team. I had to run the first practice as he was still up in San Francisco. The first practice went pretty well! It was kind of downhill from there. It became pretty clear that the distribution of teams wasn't entirely balanced. Our team was pretty much made up of all of the youngest (and therefore smallest) boys.

Despite the valiant efforts of Coach Seibert to whip these boys into shape, I think we only won one game. We were just outmatched. It also didn't help that half of our team consisted of mostly uncooperative boys and parents who basically turned their heads the other way.

Oh well!

Max had fun and it was a great learning experience for Tyler I think, too. Also, we've learned our lesson for good about AYSO!!
