Natalie’s started her second season of soccer, but this year is much different than last. Last year was AYSO, easy, fun and not too serious. This year we’ve joined the SAYSO Gryphons, the San Andreas Youth Soccer Organization, a soccer club, a soccer academy. We’re gonna see if we can kick up the serious a notch, while maintaining the fun. And the easy? Well that went out the window as soon as Edie volunteered she and myself as the Team Manager for Natalie’s team (code-named 97 Girls White). Managing a club team is on the same order of magnitude as managing a multi-national corporation. But more on that later. The notable news is that Natalie’s first game of the season was not cancelled! Mother Nature relented long enough to allow the game against the MVLA Cobras to be played. Here are photos from that first game. Also photos from the scrimmage the week before with the Meno Park Strikers, here. Looks like we have an amazing spring season ahead of us. I wanna hear everybody shout “Go Gryphons!!”
