Disappointment

First, we get a call a few weeks ago from the soccer club that my daughter's indoor division only had 10 players. Barely enough for a team and no teams to play against. We had two options: move her to U10 (with girls 3-4 years her senior) or play co-ed with the same age division. Co-ed it is. She was very disappointed. Then, today (on Thanksgiving) an e-mail was sent to the parents saying that they had 10 teams but only 4 coaches secured. They were going to contact the high schools to see if they had some seniors who would like to coach. Don't they need first aid and a coaching certificate? Also, the e-mail seemed to indicate that our daughter was still playing a division up from her age. Given that we had already made the first change and our daughter wasn't happy about it, we decided to pull her out until the summer. It seems our daughter couldn't care less. Two positives from this story: 1) it appears we will get the refund we requested, and 2) she won't be missing archery for 15 weeks as we thought. Until next time... D.
