I thought that they were the best for the team or at least Lucy said that they were. I was sad that we had to cut some people but the team we picked was unstoppable. We had practice every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for two hours. This not only made us better, it taught us how to work together as a team and let us get to know each other a little bit better.
I realized that you can't have a team without a coach. I told Lucy about my concern and she looked at me in shock.
"What? How could we forget about a coach? We need to find a coach now. How do you propose looking for a coach?"
"I think we just ask a woman that we trust. I know a woman named Nina. She has three sons who play soccer so maybe she could coach us."
"Good idea Grace, but do you think she will do it?"
I honestly didn't know but I know her and she was my moms friend. "Probably. If she doen't, we can find a different person who might be willing to do this."
"Ok girls, you did good tonight. We are going to end practice a little early tonight,ok?"
Everybody went home but Lucy and I. We stayed only to find a coach. We walked to Nina's house and knocked on her door.
"Hi Mrs. Smith, how are you?"
"Good, thank you for asking. Who are you with?"
"Oh, sorry I didn't introduce you to my friend Lucy."
"Hello Lucy. Grace, did you come here for something?"
"Yes. We wanted to talk to you about something."
"What girls?"
"We want you to coach our soccer team that we made."
