Middle School Soccer Dual

My back isn’t as sore this morning as I expected it might be. I did ref some middle school soccer matches last night on a VERY hard field at STC. Managed to trip over a sprinkler head that I don’t think has been “used” in years.

Departing for the PCA (Peoples’ Choice Awards) weekend in Clear Lake / Mason City. Got The Some IT in tow. First camping of the season.

Another MS Soccer in the Books

Completed my third soccer officiating assignment tonight… STC middle school girls and boys doubleheader, plus two B-games, vs. Williamsburg. Another 2.5 hours total play, but again, not too bad. I still have so much to learn!

First Varsity Soccer Officiating

My knees and back are definitely feeling better than 2 weeks ago. Tonight I was AR2 for a varsity women’s match with Independence at STC. Final score was 11-2 on a very windy night, and it showed. The crew of TJ and Dustin did a great job and I feel like I learned a lot from them tonight. Thank you, gentlemen.

Completed my first soccer officiating assignment tonight… STC middle school girls and boys doubleheader, plus two B-games, vs. Mt. Vernon. 2.5 hours total play, but not too bad. I still have a LOT to learn!
