On the field

 Was it high school physical education or college? At one or the other the basics of soccer were taught in a few lessons. Other than that, it was football, basketball and track. Baseball was the game in elementary school and a town team. Never would have thought that soccer would take over as it has. While I’ve never gotten into watching it, soccer makes more sense for a physical activity that almost any other sport that involves a ball, or a puck. Perhaps cross country track is the other sport that would compare favorably

This morning I watched my granddaughter play in a soccer game. They took the field after another team had played and they were followed by another team...all elementary school age. Several other fields in proximity were also so occupied. The players played with enthusiasm with little attention paid to the final score. Parental behavior was appropriate. I’m happy I could watch today.
