Weekends With Breaks

When I played college soccer, we never had a weekend off.  We practiced or played every saturday, and dind't line up our schedules with school breaks.

When fall retreat weekends came, the team would take road trips, and any RA's would be forced to miss the road trip to fulfill the duties of the role, but the team never had a weekend off.

This weekend, is the second the team has off this year.  We don't ever practice on Saturdays, but have had many games those days.  This is the MEA week here (short for, an excuse for MN schools to have a couple days off) and historically our regional tournament was this weekend.  But since that tournament has been pushed back a week, the team (and now I) get a weekend break from soccer.

I like the scheduling freedom, but don't think it is best for our quality of soccer.  That said, i'm looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday, and being home for a more normal dinner time tomorrow.
