Purple Impossible

Here's a guerilla picture taken by a parental cell phone while the actual professional photographer was taking our team picture today. This is Zara's last season play U8 soccer. Which means it is also my last season of coaching U8 soccer (for now). More than half of the team members here have been playing together (with Coach Connor) for 5 seasons now. If they do say so themselves, they've gotten pretty good, and as one of the players said to me during the game today, "we're almost impossible to beat!" I reminded him we didn't keep score, and he said "well, we should just be called Purple Impossible then." How could I say no to that? He's got a point, the team has been working hard and playing well together. Four seasons ago what we accomplish each game day would have been impossible, that's for sure. For many reasons, Purple Impossible it is.
