I am the mom on the sidelines screaming. Yelling. Jumping. Cheering. I believe I pulled a muscle today during our last soccer game of the season.
The league we played with this year is a league that focuses on good sportsmanship and therefore doesn't keep score.
But mama keeps score.
Here are some truths about being a soccer mom:
1. Your child's goals always count. Even if it is in the wrong goal.
2. Family involvement in crucial. Sporting team colors. Sporting your player's number.
3. Cuteness outranks skill in a sportsmanship focused league. As long as your child is cute going down the field, that is what matters.
4. Stretch. I mentioned I pulled a muscle today. I failed to stretch.
5. Have a good support system. And, no I am not talking about peer support....get it.
6. Always yell for your team players by name. Even if it is the wrong name. This year we had a Cole and a Joel. Keegan and Kingston. By the end of the season the players knew that I would call them the wrong name and that is just a fact of life. If they had the ball and I was yelling, they knew they were the one on the receiving end of the yell.
Here's to all soccer moms!!!!
Run!
Scream!
Jump!
Stretch!
