Marcus' First Soccer Game!

So....
Marcus had his very first soccer practice and game. Yes all in the same day.
So...
Let's get started on why his practice and his game were on the same day.
We signed him up about 2 months ago and was told we would get a phone call about when practices would start but because Marcus only would play 4  games (since its a 3 year old soccer team) we wouldn't start practice till early September.
I waited patiently for my phone call and on September 10th, I hadn't heard a thing so I called the Rec center and was told that the coach emails and doesn't call and that I should email him myself or call myself. So I DID! And never heard a thing. So on Sept 17th I called the Rec center back and they said oh well I don't know.... Hmmm you don't know!! My kid is suppose to play in 7 days and you don't KNOW!! I was so mad I hung up. I was going to call back the next day but that was the day Marcus and Chris were sick so I was busy worrying about them and then wed I got sick and finally on Thursday my mom called me and said "Hey I'm at the Rec center and I wanted to know if you heard anything and if not I will ask" So I sent her to do my dirty work and she at least got some information (I think its because they know her and have known her for 6 years because my baby sister plays volleyball and soccer for them) But they tried calling the coach and I tried calling him and still NO ONE EVER got ahold of him.
So...
Enter Saturday, Marcus' first game. We show up and find the coach and I introduce myself and he's like who are you?? Seriously. I introduce Marcus and he's like okay and you guys are???? Seriously??
I was MAD! I finally told him all about what had been going on for the past few weeks and his answer was oh my phone doesn't always work. We have been practing for 3 weeks twice a week!! Are you kidding me!!!! You would have thought that week after week when Marcus didn't show up that he would pick up a phone and call at least the Rec center. He said he had been emailing me but he mixed up my email.
I am so upset over the whole thing cause I feel that Marcus could have had 6 practices under his belt before his first game. Instead he had no clue what was going on!!
All that matters in the end is that Marcus had a blast and tried as best as he could to do his best.
Here's a few pictures that actually make my boy look like a PRO!


 
Look at him fighting for the ball!!
 
And the last one of him telling us to be quiet as we were cheering and yelling at him to get the ball or to kick it more than once.
 
So overall we will start going to the practices and the next 3 games but I seriously want my money back. lol.
