Coach Holmes

This weekend was full of Soccer!! Jamie coached his team in a soccer tournament in Virginia Beach. We drove (through rush hour traffic) Friday night. We went straight to eat at a local seafood place- YUM! And then we hung out with some of the fellow coaches.

Bright and early Saturday morning we made it to the fields for their first game of the day! I have never seen so many soccer players! There were 15 or more fields all packed! Jamie's team won 3-0 whoohooo! Three different boys scored a goal. Only 1 injury- which Jamie was so cute he carried the little boy off the field AWWW! And 1 yellow card from on of his players.. which lead to a lecture and the little boy having to sit on the bench the rest of the game :( Good coach!  The rest of the day we spent running back and forth helping warm up other teams (well I watched) and then back for their 2nd game of the day.

The second team was much harder than the first but victory!! 1-0!! The kids and parents were excited!! Unfortunately Jamie and I had to drive back after the game to run the Army 10 miler but we heard the won their morning game and are in the championship!!! (Run on sentence-oops!)

Jamie's team LOVES him! They are so cute! And the parents really like him too. I really enjoyed the day of watching Jamie coach and all the little kids run around. It was exhausting but well worth it. Next time we have to make more time for the beach!
