We've got one more regular season game next week, and then we're on to tournaments. I can't believe it's almost over already.
As of tonight, we're 9-8, which is perfectly acceptable to me. The schedule ended up being a lot harder than I expected, but I'm glad that it was. Originally I worried that it was going to be all crappy teams like last year, but it ended up being much tougher. That's good, because winning every match against crappy teams is boring.
Individually, each kid has made a ton of progress, and that to me is a true sign of success. Even the games we lost were close. We only embarrassed ourselves once.
The only downside to this high school stuff is some of the parent issues, because they're a huge distraction from doing the actual work, but fortunately I've got a supportive administration.
The J.O. tryouts begin in November, with practice in January, so I don't get much of a break. I need to think about taking a vacation.
