Summertime

Wow Summer has flown by.  The first major fall tournament in Colorado is during the first weekend in August (actually there are 2 that weekend).  We start competitive play the weekend before Labor Day.  HS Soccer starts Sep 1.  Didn't summer just start?

Few musings from the summer:
  • The ECNL Championships were held July 14-16 out here.  For the teams that were here, yes, you brought the humidity from your home state to Colorado.  Fortunately, the biggest monsoon we've had out here for quite some time decided to relax a bit during this tournament.  I only managed to get one game due to family commitments, and mine was called just 10 min into the 2nd half due to lightening.  I think the girls (it was U-17) were tired or affected by the altitude because the play was nothing special.  Well except for the one team's GK who could punt the ball just about to the opposite attacking third.  Tired out the CR for sure.
