That's in addition to working 60-70hrs a week Well even if Ivo doesn't win he gets honorable mention for the effort and the Smart Parenting award

Is North American Football lacrosse? Or was the earlier football the everywhere-but-the-states football that we call soccer, and N. American Football is the stuff we call football in the states? When I think North American, I think of Last of the Mohicans...

By North American football I mean the type they play in the NFL/CFL. "Football" is that game that is referred to as football in 90% of the world, which is only normal as the ball is mostly handled by the foot

in that case, i coached football too

volunteer - because my daughter really enjoyed it. she scored 2 goals her first game (8yo league) and our team won 3-2. She was one of the very best players in the league technically, great positioning and striking too (for her age, that is)

But next games she was usually beaten to the ground by the opponent boys, it was coed... i told her to kick them too, regardless if she gets ejected but she is just too nice for this... I just had to stop her playing as the referees tolerate more than i am willing to accept - including pushing w/ 2 hands from behind when she passed them

but the hockey rink takes the cake! i just taught my daughter to skate, she did some figure skating later... couldn't interest her in hockey the solar bears suck big time anyway...
