Z played their third season of high school rec soccer this fall. They had an awesome coach (who is also their pediatrician) and a pretty sweet group of kiddos including a teammate from the previous 2 seasons. It was the first time they've played 11v11 on a full sized field (not counting school soccer) and, not unrelatedly, it was probably also the season when they *played* the most. Z's attendance at the games was perfect, and despite the fact I think they had 18? 19? rostered players the team was almost ALWAYS short of subs and sometimes couldn't even field a full 11. See the above picture here, for instance - 1 whole sub! Yes, high schoolers are busy, yes, rec soccer is a fun and low key commitment, but it's still a bit frustrating. While they were often on the losing end of the score line, I think they all (mostly) had fun and even enjoyed a win late in the season. Go Blue!
