A losing season of Soccer


I now realize why parents become "soccer moms" and "violent dads". The average adult can't handle it when they wacth a bunch of five year olds kick at each others ankles for 1/2 and hour, so when they actually get 2 feet from the net and still miss kicking that stupid ball in the net, you just have to start yelling and hollering like you have no sense at all. All dignity goes staight out the window, when your kid actually does score a point, let alone 5!

It's when they actually do kick it into the net, and it's their own which doubles the opponents points, I become Muy Frustrado!
The last game Gabe played, they got up to the net 5 times but only kicked two in.The other team kicked 10 into their own net.

With our atrocious losing record the Black Tiger parents commenced bribing our children. Gabe was promised a scoop of ice cream for every goal or assist, Dylans's dad promised him 5 bucks, Isabelle's dad promised her ice cream as well, and the coach promised her whiney, crying-butt kid Samantha coddling every time she started crying on the field. The end results, Dylan recieved $15, Gabe recieved 5 scoops of ice cream, Isabelle got 3 scoops, and Samantha got to sit the rest of the game out because the ref. was wasting too much time blowing his whistle everytime she started crying!

Been playing long?









What should we do with it?
I don't know. It's just sitting there.
Kick it.
No, you kick it.
No, let's just stare at it.
Okay.














Adversity.





Hah, when you kick it in that net, your mom goes nuts! Watch I'll do it again!

Any sport that includes 5 yr olds would frustrate anyone.Hockey,baseball along with soccer all suck with 5yr olds. It does look like the kids are having fun. how does Gabe like org. sports?

Losing? What's that? That must come from Joe's side.
