With the conclusion of the Lititz Summer Showcase, I believe my involvement with youth soccer has come to an end. It started in 1994, when my older son was playing intramural soccer, and I volunteered to be an assistant coach. I believe it was within 10 seconds that I was promoted to head coach.
It's been a long, fun ride since, until today as my younger son finished playing.
We have been to many places, met many wonderful people, and even got to enjoy more victories than defeats. While that was never the end goal, it sure made it easier to follow.
I always asked my sons 2 questions after their games:
1) Did you have fun?
2) Did you try your hardest?
If "yes" was the response to each, then nothing else really mattered.
I will miss it, but I look forward to having those days back now for other adventures and activities.

It sounds like it was a fun ride, and you seemed to enjoy it. I'm sure it meant a lot to your sons as well.
I hope you find something to fill the time, but not as consuming - unless you want it to be.
