Soccer practice has started. Both Beenie and KeKe are playing this spring. This is KeKe's first time playing and she is all kinds of excited. We went out and bought cleats, and cool pink tie-dye socks, today. Then we had to go out in the backyard and kick the ball around this afternoon. She did a great job at practice tonight. She's got a really strong leg and her accuracy is pretty good, too.
I'm Beenie's coach. Actually one of them. The last couple of years Beenie has played for Coach Dina. I helped out when I could, and kind of took on the role of official unofficial assistant. When Dina said she wasn't coaching this past fall, I stepped up and took over the coaching duties. This spring season we decided to co-coach, so we wouldn't have to coach against each other. We had our first practice tonight where we were both in charge, and it went pretty well. Iain did a great job. He seemed like he was really into it again. And Dina's son, who had a reputation in past years of being selfish on the field, was looking for opportunities to pass the ball. He also expressed his excitement at playing forward with Beenie. If they both keep it up as we start our games, we'll be all set. The rest of the team looks like a good solid group, too.
