The Town Team

We had to wake up early for our 8:00 Futsol game and the Colorado Crushers (T-man’s rec league team) went down in the first 3 minutes 4-0 to a top club team. But, the town team did not give up. The boys hung in there and came back to tie the game 5-5 with a chance to win in the last 20 seconds. It was definitely an exciting game! 

It’s so great that that the boys get to play together again - it’s really what youth sports should still be in my humble opinion - playing on a team with your friends. The boys have said multiple times that they just want to play on a team with friends. They never said I want to play on a team that never loses. 

The teams I played on when I was a kid were never good, but I have fond memories of bus trips, bonding in the locker room, learning how to play as part of a team, and having it ok to be assertive (which isn’t always easy in other settings as a high school girl).
