The end of summer soccer tournament season ... Aug 31st | filed in: Random Mutterings

This weekend was the last summer soccer tournament for Mat.
Next up: regular season games for Presidio League Soccer!

Soccer tournaments are family affairs, with multiple games every day,
all of the team families usually hang out together enjoying the summer.
Regular season is different. There's usually only one game per weekend,
so everyone shows up, the game happens, then everyone goes home.

It was bitter-sweet to experience the end of the summer tournament season today.
Bitter because the boys' last game was a total slaughter (that team should not have
been in the "lower" bracket! They won all of their games this weekend 8-0 7-0 and 10-0).
Sweet because the boys all had so much fun together, and we've got such a
GREAT group of parents and families on our team. The regular season will be fun for sure!

Here are some "artsy" shots I wanted to get for the end of the summer:

Mat got to play keeper because it was such a blow-out
(he'd never get to play keeper otherwise, but he loves to play there).


...and the last shot I took before the final wistle blew:


I hope you're all enjoying your end-of-summer weekend!
