We had a couple of soccer games this season on nasty, stormy Saturdays! One of the wettest and coldest was our game on Halloween! There was lightning earlier that morning, but it had stopped well before our game started. Then the winds kicked up! We had our pop-up canopy set up over the team bench, but after 15 minutes of trying to anchor it down, coach the girls, watch the sub time, and cheer the team on, we had to take it down. We had four or five parents and grandparents attempting to hold the canopy down, but it still was not safe. So we took the canopy down and then our parents went to work trying to shelter the team with their umbrellas. What a huge group effort! Talk about an authentic PNW fall soccer day! The girls, bless their hearts, gave it 100 percent despite the rain and walked away with a victory!
