That's a bummer, have you thought about looking in to other teams? Not that you don't have enough on your plate as it is...

I got offered a job coaching a 15-16 yr old girls team, but I declined after looking at the schedule. They play every Sat and Sun afternoon. Wouldn't ever be able to go up north.

Yeah, weekends are valuable things, I can't say as I blame you. When I was coaching my daughters soccer team, every game/practice was at 8am on Saturdays. "What?!" Was my response when I found out. I had no idea what I had signed up for. That's just too early on a weekend, plus because I was the coach and not just some parent, I couldn't be cavalier about her(me) missing any games. We had to forego a couple of nice weekend trips because of coaching.
