Ben was VERY nervous about his first game; he didn't know the rules, what the various positions were, how to do a corner kick or what it meant to be offsides. When the sides switched after halftime he got the ball and started taking it towards the wrong goal!! Despite all this he did pretty well: he got the ball a couple of times, blocked a couple of attempts at the goal, and, most importantly, had a great time.

Needless to say the RBHPP Football Club did not have a stellar first showing; the parents stopped keeping score at 2-10 which can be classified as a rout. We have a game every weekend between now and November 15th... so we have plenty of time to come together as a team...

Well, as long as kids had a good time it is worth your effort.
I think that children will be better off just playing in the back (or front) yards the same games without constant parental intervention.
The name of the team is really cool. I think it is the cry for freedom!

I absolutely love the name of this football club! Who came up with it? Whoever it is should open an office naming rock bands in the future!
