Lilly started her first-ever sports season, and she chose soccer. I’m not much of a soccer player, though I did coach 2 years of JV soccer once upon a time.
She did really well today! She didn’t know many girls on the team, but she makes friends real easily. She handled the running and ball drills, and she knows what she needs to work on to get better. I think she might be a goalie. We’ll see what develops.
A couple of notes to myself:
1. bring a lawnchair to practice. there are no seats, and the grass will likely be wet.
2. bring a jacket. it’s windy and still cold in central PA in April.
3. the other parents seem pretty cool. we might make some new friends!
4. the soccer field is pretty close to some nice running trails, so I might be able to sneak in a run while Lilly is kicking it…
5. there’s also a disc golf course at the soccer field. Sean Michael Murphy, where are you? I have discs in the truck just in case you show up. BTW, Lilly refers to you by all 3 names…Sean Michael Murphy…nice. She wants to challenge you and Griff to some discage.

Bring it on Lill (I still abbreviate her name) I still remember when you started using the overhead baseball throw with your disc…and began dismantling me.
