The parent group of my daughter's school is definitely very active. They organize sporting, recreational and cultural activities for all tastes. The problem is that participation is not really total, parents who are working or who are lazy (the majority show both the issues), prevent being seen at school during activities.
That seems to be the best strategy to avoid to be involved.
A group of moms, considering the coach's availability, has decided to organize an evening group to play football. So far all right. It sounds strange that women choose football as a first activity, but in school there is a beautiful well-equipped field, it's a shame not to use it.
At that time I was not dressed properly, but I promised that if the child were to return for the rehersal, I would stop playing: the schedules coincide.
I love running, I love being in group, cheering and playing, it's usually fun. So the next week I was totally ready to join the mums.
Most of them are really fit, some are not, it doesn't matter. all are competitive and geared for battle.
The very first part of the training was nice, exercises, pratice kicks.
The funniest part was when, by wrong the exercise, we had to do ten push ups as punishment.
And up to half lesson, all acceptable. My nightmare started with the mini soccer game.
I run a lot to get in the action, but I never got a shot. After a while I realized I was not considered good enough for the competition ... Yeah, these adorable moms all sporty sporty really takes the training game seriously.
After twenty minutes of shots and useless races, I ended up doing the goalkeeper, to rest, then they had to blame me ... every shot was a goal.
Then I decided that football is not the right sport for me.
