Another Season

Well, it seems like the business in the Palmer house wasn't about to abate. Rachel was talked into coaching Allie's soccer team this fall season by the coordinator. Rachel had coached this past spring, but wasn't sure if she was up to doing it again in the fall. We received the roster for Allie, and there was no coach listed. We sent an email to the soccer board, only to find that there weren't enough coaches for the Pee Wee teams. It was looking like there was only going to be 4 teams, unless a few people stepped up. Rachel wanted Allie to play on a team where she had fun (although Allie seems to like soccer for the snacks she gets as much as the game), and not sitting counting the daisies. So, Rachel was talked into being the coach again this year. She was supposed to have an assistant from the local high school, but it didn't work out that way for whatever reason. We had some friends agree to watch the younger two while we were at Allie's game, so it turns out that I am kinda the assistant coach. No, I didn't make the picture, but that's okay. Did you think that was enough for Rachel and I to take on?

Heck, NO! Rachel and I were also talked into sitting as members of the Pottsgrove Soccer Board as assistant Pee Wee Coordinators. There were a number of jobs on the board that went unfilled in the spring, and we just felt that since we're going to be in the area for a little while, that it made sense to give back to the community. Rachel also said it couldn't hurt my resume, be it for a job or if I want to try graduate school. Yeah, that's Rachel for you ---already has me in graduate school. Here's a few pictures for you:

LOL! I was thinking about it being good for your resume too.
Wow, sounds like you guys will be busy for awhile! I bet Allie loves having her parents as couches!!!! And I am sure she is so proud of it too.
She is so cute in her little soccer uniform!!!
Good luck with soccer, school and work!!!

My girls play soccer too and I can totally relate! Sometimes I think that they are in it for the snack afterwards too! I've been a referee, but never taken on coaching. Good for you guys!

Where do you two find the time, strength and energy to both be taking a full time course load, coaching, sitting on the board, etc...... Serious kudos to you both!
