After almost a decade (well maybe it hasn't been that long) of having my cleats rest in a box in Virginia, they have made the trip to Memphis. That's right...I am now a member of a coed soccer team here in Memphis. A little scary to be on a coed team (men can be a bit intense at times on the field, but then again I've met some women that can be intense as well). I am pretty excited to be playing competitive soccer again. It's pretty intense...not one of those maybe I'll wear shin guard leagues, you definitely want to have those guards in place with socks pulled up.
A friend of mine was a member of a team last year and asked me if I wanted to join this year. It was almost a no brainer question...I did have to think a little bit about it being coed. After searching my house up and down looking for my cleats (which I could have sworn were here in Memphis), I made the call to my Mom to see if they were in my room at home. I guess I really thought I would never put on those cleats again which would explain why I didn't pack them and bring them to Memphis. Oh, but my competitive spirit just isn't dead yet.
I'll keep you posted on how the team is doing and how I'm fairing out there on the pitch (as they say in soccer).
