On Saturday morning, May 5th
Peter and I attended one of Cooper's football games, this time at Kurnell.
Although we have travelled past the playing field several times, neither
of us had stopped or even had a good look at it. It's quite a pleasant area.
And, of course, after all the rains of the last year, it's green.
That's Cooper on the left, facing the camera. Yes, the team includes girls!
The teams line up in preparation for the game. Given their young ages - 6 or so -
coaches are allowed on the field too. As shown in the video, at times the coach is
needed to remind the players which direction to run! That's Glenn on the left,
back to camera. He is one of the coaches for Cooper's team, who are dressed in
the yellow and maroon colours. The referee is in red.
Kelly also bought Lily and her friend Holly along to the game. They were more
interested in exploring the area and playing in the area to the left.
Somehow, Cooper's exploits on the field were of no interest to them!
Coach Glenn explaining about kicking the ball. At this age, those skills are
somewhat lacking, including the idea of kicking the ball at the goalposts!
Game over, Cooper is enjoying some juice after a hard game. Well, he
did
score two tries!
