Game on

Tomorrow morning the sun will rise.

Just another Saturday morning.

The sun will rise over the mountains, keeping our home and others along the eastern bench of our valley in shade in the early morning. The sky will be bright blue as a beautiful early spring day dawns in our fair city. The half-million or so residents of the valley will rise and go about their business - some to work, others to play. All in all, it will appear to virtually everyone another normal Saturday morning, welcome not only for the start of the weekend but also for the return of fair weather after a cold, dark winter.

Yet this particular Saturday will be different.

For tomorrow a mighty beast will awaken. A creature will be unleashed; a creature whose power and might this valley has never seen.

It will appear in a city park, a normal city park where families will gather with their children to enjoy a wonderful spring morning. Among the many youth soccer fields set up in the park on this fine day, the beast will emerge, prepared to devour all who stand in its way.

Yes, the Mighty Green Dragons will take the field in the city 4-6 year old youth soccer league.

Youth soccer will never be the same in our town as the Mighty Green Dragons have their way over all who would stand before them on this and seven subsequent Saturdays.

Mommies, spare your children from the carnage.

We are the Mighty Green Dragons. Hear us ROAR!

It's great to be The Family Man (aka coach of the Mighty Green Dragons)!
