so vso/cannon soccer club has what we call street soccer, which is basically pick-up soccer games once a week at the bovina complex. usually it is on wednesday evening and has been going on since july or august. it's open to anyone, and typical ages range from 8 to mid-40's. wyatt loves playing with older folks, and it gives him an opportunity to try new things and see how the more experienced players do things. i also participate because it is very rare that a parent has the opportuninty to compete with their children and their friends in the child's favorite sport and it provides a good cardio workout.
since wednesday was halloween, the powers that be decided to do street soccer on tuesday night at 7:00 (after wyatt's rec team soccer practice). since it was short notice, there was only a small turnout: smithart, price, five farthings, two schraders, an echstein and a carney made for a fun game in what i consider crisp, if not frigid, temperatures. my lungs have not burned with cold like that in about 10-12 years. as long as i was moving, i was warm and i felt like i was getting some good exercise. thankfully, it is warming up just a bit for a few pleasant evening games in the weeks to come.
note to self: invest in cold-weather tech gear for both myself and the red-headed kid.
