Chris the soccer coach?

Yep, you read that correctly. Today I start my first ever adventure into coaching. The Partners in Medicine club that I belong to is starting up a soccer club for kids aged 3 to 6. I think Aiden is going to play too, so there may be some ringers on the fringe of that age bracket. We have 10 kids that are committed to show up every Friday at 4 PM. The other day the other coach, Claire, and I went out and bought a bunch of soccer stuff. We bought 2 goals, some cones, 8 soccer balls, and a bag to put it all in.

So our agenda is simple, get the kids out and burning off energy. We are going to do about 10 - 15 minutes of warm up and drills, then let them play a game for the rest of the time (hopefully about 30-45 minutes total). It should be interesting for sure!

It went well, but next week I'll be all by myself because Claire has a hair appointment. And there was more like 18 kids there today! All under 6, awesome!
