Tennis (with cars)

I am officially an assistant high school tennis coach! We had our first practice on Friday, with only one minor hiccup: Cars were parked on the courts.

I'll repeat that: Cars were parked on the courts. Oh, Italy. You are too much.

There was a big after-school event at the school, so the folks in charge of directing incoming traffic told at least 8 parent drivers to go ahead and park on the tennis courts. Because, why not?

Thirteen kids on 2 courts was going to be difficult enough. But cars on courts? That's a new one for me. By the time we were done w/ warmup and introductions, the eight cars were down to three. But that's not exactly much better. Still, we made it work somehow. Some windshields were hit, I'll admit. And eventually all the parents returned with kids in tow and embarrassedly drove off.

Fun stuff! Can't wait for Monday!
