Comment Published at 06:2806:2816 comments16 comments37 Visits37 VisitsReport

5 days to go until my son leaves for disneyworld. there is a soccer tournament being organised to be played at disneyworld

they are actaully staying at the resort and my son is coaching one of the australian teams. children were picked from all over victoria.

last night they held a fund raising night(fourth of july) sbs was present and filmed it. apparently it will be telives on sbs in two weeks . at this stage i dont know how much they will edit but my son was filmed making a speech and the sports reporter filmed them this morning at one of their training sessions

i believe a few countries are involved in this tournament . i know apart from a few american states that canada is also involved there were other countries but there was so much to see that my son showed me the other day that i cant recall everythimg.

its avery early flight i will probably go the airport but i will cry i always do. i know its only about 12 or 13 days and not 3 months.but i get so emotional

i will just have to keep myself occupied for the next 2 weeks

cheers annie

 Hi dear annie, don't worry i'll be around to annoy you and  keep  your mind occupied....then i'll send you some tissues,  for the goodbyes....hey us Mum's are just sook's hey?

How exciting for your son to be involved in such an event, you must be so proud of him. Remind me sweet when it gets  nearer the time, so i can have a gander at the show.

Love Janice xxxxx

How exciting for you, you will have to let us know when it is on so that we can watch it.   Goodbyes are the hardest I always get upset, so I kinda get where your coming from.

I understand, I hate saying goodbye to any of my family even when I know I will be seeing them again at least semi-soon.
It is all so exciting! I hope his speech is on the TV!

Re: 5 days to go and sbs were there they will teliviseit..........

thanks lynette

in 2005 he went for the uni games to china with rmit as their personnel trainer and he played .

he came home with the best and fairest player . he received a glass trophy with chinese writing engraved on the mount.it takes pride in our glass cabinet with all other trophies of both boys for soccer and swimming (the cabinet is only full of trophies)

he is amazing considering he has gone back to uni full time for 3 years. he is so organized and he has so much stamina.

just to get an idea how his weekend goes. he trained the kids yesterday morning quickly came home then left for his own divisio where he plays came 6pm had dinner and went to his friends birthday.

then he got up this morning did a few things on computer and left for other side of town where he coaches another lot of kids. they have a match now.

when he gets home tonight he will play a game of inddor soccer.

luckily he is on holidays at uni but when he has his exams and assignments he will stay up and study and complete assignments.

cheers annie

they arent going to actaully televice the games but the practise matches here.

for our fellow americans though its being organised by america so they might televise the games on a local station there in america.

im not sure because as you can imagine a lot of organising happened.

my son being the coach was responsible in getting his team all over victoria and the cost was an obstacle.

it almost didnt happen

I can relate to crying at the airport, that's me too when they are home from ICELAND and we take them for the return flight. Simon does not like hanging around there either as I'm sure he and Sylvia get emotional and we all have to try to be brave in case we upset the children. Hope all goes well for your son in Disneyland

hi pauline

its actaully disneyworld that he is going to in orlando florida  its bigger than disneyland. apparently disneyworld was built later disneyland is the origional

both belong to the walt disney ltd

luckily this time its only 12 days but its so far and us mums always worry

i know he will have a ball and if im anxious how would the parents be of the 14 year olds?  some parents are going but not all because its costly.

cheers annie

Hope the team do well over there. And it will fly by really quickly. You will have to let us know the date of the broadcast so we can watch it.

I'm sure your son will be fine, acting like a big kid, but fine just the same.  poor you though, having him so far away for 2 weeks! lol.

he is the coach he is 25 he has been overseas 3 times and just last year away for 3 months to greece and england

he is mature for his age but that doesnt stop me from getting teary.

i might say my goodbyes from home and let his older brother see him off. i will see how i go

cheers annie
