It was a nice way to spend an hour late Friday afternoons, watching the YellowJackets practice, then play their last game of the season - a tie.
Each game ends with a cheer for the opponent:
while the season ended with a pizza lunch and spinning soccer trophies:
Coach Mike gave a nice personal touch to the trophy handouts.
At this stage, it's all about being positive. I got the sense parents were trying to avoid repeating bad childhood memories about team sports, thus the heavy emphasis on making this non-competitive, fun. Other areas seem more ramped up - increased expectations for academic outcomes in even kindergarten now - so this felt like nostalgiac reprieve, retaining a bit more of childhood; incidentally, that's what drives much of homeschooling.
