Just Soccer -- No Spanish
It was not a good weekend for Spanish. We were way to busy with soccer. Gabriel's Under-12 Lanco United team opened their season with a 4 to 0 victory over a team from Concord, Delaware. Mario's Under-10 team, which I coach, lost 4 to 3 against Manheim Central. Almost as soon as Mario's game was over on Saturday, we made some sandwiches, dropped Mario at a friend's house, and headed to the Olympic Development Program tryouts in the Harrisburg area. I had never seen anything like it. There must have been 120 boys there, and a lot of them were really, really good soccer players. The tryout lasted for 90 minutes, but when we got home at about 9 p.m., Gabriel wanted to play tennis under the lights! I was tired and I had not played a game and done a tryout. We did it anyway and had a good game. I can usually beat Gabriel easily but he was beating me.
This afternoon, my over-30 women's team began its season by losing 6 to 0! It was probably the best team in our league. I had fun anyway.
Tomorrow it's back to working on Spanish!
