Being a soccer coach to my son's "Dynamo Dudes" team, who are currently a division 4 U10 boys team (in US Youth Soccer, which is under FIFA), has got to be one of the best things I've lucked into: I get to have this bonding thing with my son, and I get to help mold the entire teams' attitude and abilities (and hopefully, if I've done my job right, these guys will at least be playing pick-up games of soccer when they are older, and be relaxed but competitive about it!).

As far as playing, in about a year away from playing in an over 40s team (to some that may seem old, to others it may seem young; I'm certainly glad that I'm alive at 40 and able to run around and play a team sport).
