A series of unfortunate events

Ole! Ole! Ole!

So this last Friday my work sponsored a soccer challenge for the City of Renton. It was put on for kids from ages 4-13. It was actually pretty fun cause aside from my niece and nephews, I really haven’t spent much time around kids in quite a few years. We were there mostly to inform parents on injury prevention and any other questions they may have had. And seeing as I have absolutely no knowledge in any of that I was there mostly for moral support…and cause my life is lame and I don’t do a whole lot these days. So I got roped into reffing one of the events. Actually it was the easiest event to ref. It was a speed test for dribbling. All I had to do was use my handy little stopwatch the City issued me for the event and time how long it took for the kids to weave through 5 to 10 cones, depending on age, and back with the soccer ball. And of course look awesome doing it! But the really sad part was that probably every single one of those kids could have annihilated me in the drill! Hence why I never played soccer as a child. Still it was a fun time cheering the kids on as they did their drills and won awards. Then in addition, each kid that participated got a schnazzy water bottle from yours truly, Renton Sports and Spine Physical Therapy! Aren’t you jealous?!
