Every Monday and Wednesday night we have soccer games. In case you missed an earlier post I am the coach for Makenna's team. We are sponsored by Security State Bank this year. We started out the season with a jamboree where we won 3 out of the 4 games. We lost our first official game and then came back to win three in a row. This week hasn't been a very good week. The girls seem to be tired and just not paying attention as much. They are however doing a great job besides that. They have learned and improved a ton. The coaches usually have to referee their own games. Tonight the other teams coach refereed and I kept time. I liked that since I'm still learning all the rules. Toward the end of the game we had an incident where the other coach made a bad call and family on our side got involved. Before I knew it there were many childish things said and the other coach was screaming at people behind me. I've already had a taste of parents, etc. screaming at me about a call or a play that was started wrong. I have asked for volunteers to help referee but no one wants to help. Luckily the game continued and we ended up losing 3-0. The girls still had fun so as long as that is happening I'm not to worried about it. After the games we huddle and cheer for the other team. Then we meet in the middle to run down and say "good game" as we high five. The coaches end up together last and the other coach was brutal. He told me that he didn't want to play us again and if he did then he wouldn't be a referee. The whole thing is frustrating to me since I can't control the parents/family that come to the games. If I could I would have them helping me out and not screaming at me too. This is why I really didn't want to do this. I'm embarrassed for my team and the fact that the girls had to hear what happened. I really hope things turn back around again.
