Was The Night Before Tourney at Coach's House

It was the Night before the Long Island Youth Soccer Tournament at my house
Bright and early tomorrow I would awake to Coach my Long Island Youth Soccer Travel Team at our first soccer tournament
As I lay down to sleep I awoke with a jump and scared a mouse
PLAYER PASSES!!
PHYSICAL RELEASES!!
SOCCER CLUB PATCHES!!
I ran to my team duffle and sighed with relief-
All was tucked inside next to the  Long Island Soccer TEAM ROSTER, DIRECTIONS, and separated in neat batches
Oh no! Oh my!
Did the team emails and texts go through?
Who will call 5 minutes to soccer warm-ups asking for a ride and
Who will call 10 minutes before soccer game time lost in New Hyde?
I hope those kids bring both jerseys and arrive tucked in, with a drink and on time
We need to warm up, review soccer tactics, and try not to whine
As I pack an extra cooler of water and Gatorade,
I pray the skies stay clear and the parents stay to the rear
As I lay my head back down and close my eyes,
I hope my LIJSR Soccer Refs are having a good night and know next time I will check ahead for advice at www.coachmommyli.com

Good luck to all this weekend! Play hard, play smart, have fun and be good sports!  Happy Memorial Day and thank a Veteran. (I hope you didn't really expect it to rhyme! I am a Coach not a Poet!)
