Dad's Saturday Mornings

Dad spends his Saturday morning out in the Bengali heat now that football (OK, soccer for those of you back in America) season is in full swing.  Since we live somewhere other than the US now, it seems that all the kids and their parents talk about football and anyone who wants to play sports, plays football.  That means that Dad has practice after school every day and then from 7:30 to about 11 every Saturday morning so that he can get in all of the age groups for both boys and girls.
This is a boys' practice at the field a couple of blocks from our house.  Of course, Dad doesn't mind much when they need one more person and he has to get out on the field, too.  That's him in the green shirt and black shorts.
When he's not coaching a practice, Dad spends his afternoons and weekends at matches.  This weekend there is a big girls' tournament at the American International School and French Schools' fields.  So far, his girls have had a game on Thursday (loss) and two on Friday (both wins!).  He's at another one right now, but we're cheering from home so I don't miss my nap.
This is Dad sitting with Coach Giblett next to him and some of his girls behind them.  They're scoping out the competition for their next game.
