Not that anyone is counting (5-year olds aren't supposed to be keeping score according to our Austin league), but we - ahem!- dominated in our opening debut. Never mind that this first time head coach didn't know what he was doing or that I was overly enthralled by the possiblity of blowing a whistle after each triumphant score. Never mind that we have only had one practice, or that it was the first time for most of our team to see a goal with nets. We had a blast. Yes, it was warm. Yes, it was an opportunity for me to learn how to run a game in which the coach rolls a new ball in play every time the ball gets kicked out of bounds. But, it was a highlight of a great day. Looking forward to a fun season. "What's the #1 Jaguar rule?" I keep asking the energetic young ones. With each time, I get a more confident answer from the team, "Have fun!". That's right. And that's what we intend to do.
