When you leave your staff unattended for 5 minutes and expect to come back to passing drills and organized rotations... Instead, there's a diving competition in one corner, a group trying to see who has the best dance moves, and someone has turned bouncing a ball off the coach as an Olympic sport. Chaos has erupted in the best way possible, and everyone is having the time of their lives. Sometimes the best part of youth sports isn't the perfectly run drill, it's the five minutes of fun-fueled chaos that reminds us why kids love the game.
