This weekend did mark the final game for this indoor soccer team, and they ended up with a nearly perfect record and were named the league champs. It was a really exciting season – the game is played off the walls so it ends up looking like a cross between racquetball and soccer – fast-paced and high scoring. And even though the league is co-ed, our team was the only one that actually had girls on it. Not to mention those super duper female coaches. And super duper championship shirts.
Why is the “female” coaches italicized? Are they better than male coaches?
Not at all! They are just the exception to the rule in this league, and in a house full of girls we are always excited to see women in positions of leadership. (Or heading up winning teams!)
And one of our favorite coaches is male – E’s basketball coach. She also calls him “dad”.
