Scarymelon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I am actually starting to like watching my kids play, and they all really enjoy it. Having three different practices on three different fields, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamauk Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I am actually starting to like watching my kids play, and they all really enjoy it. Having three different practices on three different fields, not so much. We have one night a week with a conflict. Two different fields in two different towns about 20 minutes apart :glare: Thankfully my neighbor has a boy on each team, so we're going to swap kids on Tuesday nights. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamauk Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Oh, and said neighbor really really really wants to homeschool her children, but is intimidated. She wants me to talk her down and convince her she really can do it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I remember discovering what a huge subculture soccer was--similar to hsing! We had soccer practice tonight too. I take dd to a field 5 mins. away to asst. coach a younger team, pick her up 75 mins. later, swing back by home to collect my guys, and go off to another field for my kids' team practice. It's just enough to not be overwhelming. I sit and chat with the other moms. LOVE this about soccer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linders Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I wasn't a huge soccer fan but my boys wanted to try it. DS11 has stuck with it for 3 years on the same team. It's now rather fun, both watching the kids and reconnecting with the parents each season. DS8 switched to swim team but still likes big brother's soccer because he has friends among the siblings.

jenL Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've been a soccer mom for 4 years. I had the same reaction when I first became one too! :D I've come to enjoy it & I'm a much better soccer mom than a baseball mom! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourcatmom Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have been a soccer mom for over 6 years and I LOVE it. I was really happy to have my 9 yo join in this year and she is doing great. We are out at the field M-Th but after a day of HSing inside, it's nice to get out and for them to have some organized activity and time with friends. :001_smile: Enjoy the soccer season...it always goes too fast in my opinion.

Jamauk Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I started out a swim mom...and I loved being a swim mom. My older kids are no longer swimming...little guys want to play soccer. Last night they had a clinic with a British coach....they are hooked! Faithe I was a swim mom last year. My oldest boy was on swim team, but the team went through a rough period and got some really poor coaches, so we left the program. He chose soccer this year and I ran into another swim mom and it turns out the program has completely turned itself around and all of our favorite coaches are back and all of the bad ones are gone ~ so it appears that I will likely return to being a swim mom as soon as soccer season is over! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiana Daniels Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 First practice was tonight. My boy loved it. I think he's hooked. Good thing I have a mini van.... LOL! The drive into the soccer field is like a mini-van parade! Have fun. We sure do. Our youngest LOVES the game. Good times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycalling Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 This is our 3rd year and the kids love it. We're adding a 5th soccer player this season, plus have a football player. Should be eventful! Thankfully it's only 4 teams with the 6 kids and practices will be at only two places...though last year it ended up being 7 days per week.:glare: And we're the 15-passenger van in a sea of mini vans.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 THis is our third year. All three kids are on different teams. It'll be a little crazy, but between dh and me it'll be fine. I love watching DS1. He's a good player. He was recruited for his team this year to be goalie, which he's very good at, but hates the position. "It's boring" he says. I can understand.
