An Open Letter to My Son's Soccer Coach



Ben's soccer team doing their cheer, "Go Cheetahs!"

Dear Coach C,

As Ben’s first soccer season draws to an end, I wanted to take a moment to write this to you.   I know I said thank you today on the field, but I also know that those two simple words cannot convey just exactly how grateful my family is to you. 

There are not many people would volunteer their time to coach 4 and 5 year old soccer on a Saturday.  I know this because of the multiple emails I received pleading for coaches for the league.  If I’d had the slightest clue how to play soccer beyond “don’t touch the ball” I would have helped.  But you stepped up in a big way.
