Another First for Kitso......
 

This afternoon i'll be coaching my first ever jr. high girls basketball game.

Thank god i'm not the A team coach. I'd be completely lost, i haven't played basketball since when i was these kids' age. I just kinda follow him around at practice, throw in a couple, "hustle back"s here and there, and try to do whatever he does with the A team with the B team. He seems to actually know his stuff, i just think he'd be a bit more effective if he ran his practices were a bit more structured.

We're loading up the bus at 2:30 and headin out to play the Pine Ridge Thorpes. Go Eagles!

Kitso
KS 361,000 dollars i'm gonna ask for in my football budget, lets see if i get it :D

Good luck to you and the girls.

Go Eagles!

just remember - defense is played with the feet not the hands!!! fouls are bad :)

good luck!!! you'll be great!

Good Luck, Kitso.

Good luck!!!



I'm also coaching tonight for the first time ever!! I'm coaching a girls ice hockey teams.

I hope we win and if we don't I hope we don't get laughtered. It's a house league team so I have never seen these girls play excet for 3 of the girls, and I know they are really good, but we'll be missing to of them tonight. :(

Bro.. I never really had any understanding for what you did.

True props for you.. I substituted for a P.E. class the other day and had kids calling me "coach".

I didn't know what the hell to do. I really would have preferred they call me by my first name. I even suggested it :D

What you're doing up there is great and I can truly appreciate it.

Props.

Just remember that Statutory is an ugly charge lol.

I saw the thread title and thought it was in reference to kitso seeing his skin under all that hair on his back for the first time or something. lol. Just kidding, lol. You know I think you good peeps.

Good luck on the game tonight. You'll do fine as long as your arent planning on wearing those little "Bike" brand short shorts (with the 3 inch inseam) that all the coaches believe gave them super human coaching powers, cause thats all they ever wore and it was a little creapy. Never need to see that much thigh on a man.

No lifesaver, i'm saving the bike shorts for when i start contact football here at Loneman next fall :D Have i mentioned that i hate you?

Well folks, not a good night for Eagles fans tonight.

The C team comprised of 4 5th graders and 1 6th grader went down to defeat by a score of 40-3. Ouch. But ya know, those girls played hard.

The B team, of 6th and 7th graders fought hard. And despite a T on their Coach :D played a close game and ended up losing by only 3. 30-27. This is my main team to coach, the head coach and i share the C team. Based on tonight's game, next week's practices are going to contain lots of work on defense, positioning, and conditioning. And oh yeah, lay up drills :p

The A team......<shudder> 67-22. Well, um, yeah, at least they didn't quit :D

Pine Ridge School is one of the 2 largest "public" schools on the Rez. Them and Little Wound have about 3 times the amount of students as the others. Loneman, where i teach, and American Horse, where my mom is principal are probably the next two largest.

Tomorrow night the A and B teams are in action again, this time hosting Our Lady of the Lourdes. We should take this one :p

Kitso
KS 361 times after i got my "T" i was hoping that we would either win, or lose by more than 1 :D

Sounds like a tough night. A T on the coach... imagine that. Hope the girls had a good time and a good learning experience.

Is anyone else picturing Kitso being an irrational coach on the sidelines? :)

congrats on getting your first behind you...many more better days to come.
keep smiling

So would I....he always seems like a great rational voice of reason (and sanity) here on GC :cool:

Wecome to coaching Kitso! It's one hellava job, isn't it? Just make sure they don't stick you instructing marching band :p
