Day 1 of a dynasty

Last Thursday night while the Patriots dynasty was beginning their quest for a 3rd straight Super Bowl, a dynasty of a different type met for the first time. The Mansfield Raptors, a group of 4-year-old girls checked in for the first day of soccer practice at 6:30 sharp.

Granted the signs of a dynasty were difficult to recognize, but they were there. Here's an example: "Girls, what was the most exciting part of practice?" Making new friends? No. Playing outside? Nope. Scoring goals? NO! Water breaks? all together now, "YEA!"

Good teams know proper hydration is a key to success, right?

All Stars? We got'em. At the end of practice the girls were split up into teams of 4 to play a friendly scrimmage. For the first time all practice, Coach blew his whistle to signal the start of play. There was some good action for about 30 seconds, when the all star stepped it up. "Hey coach, will you blow your whistle again?"
