Please don't do that.

I apologize. A trick.

"You arent worried about positions as much as keeping them engaged. "

This is the key.

Let us know who the first parent is that asks you what your qualifications are to coach. Someone will expect you to have played in the World Cup.

Let us know who the first parent is that asks you what your qualifications are to coach. Someone will expect you to have played in the World Cup.

The only qualifications you need are a whistle and a wife who does the sign up for who's bringing snacks and drinks each week.

Overheard at a 4YO coed game:

"This team would be a lot better if the girls would give up on the spontaneous group hugs".

"Who's the kid standing at midfield crying constantly?"  "The other coach's son".

"Look everybody!  A four-leaf clover!" "OOOOH!  Lemme see!" "Lemme see!" "Lemme see!"  ("Goal!")

It basically resembled a herd of miniature wildebeest sprinting across the Serengeti, with a soccer ball occasionally popping out of it.

But there's that one kid from Peru or Serbia who scores 14 goals.
