It was the night before season
And all through the town
Not a coach was asleep
Few even laid down
The bucket was filled to the top with fresh balls
With hopes that the players would not lose them all
The practice plan finished with drills all aligned,
At the end some conditioning, which was not very kind
The clipboard and whistle ready to go
Assistants are set, all ducks in a row
The players in town all sat in their rooms
The first day of tryouts continued to loom
The freshmen were nervous, the sophomores prepared
The juniors were anxious and the seniors were scared
For time was limited, only a few days remained
To leave their mark or a legacy unclaimed
As the night stretched on long and dawn drew even nearer
A new season was here, it couldn't be clearer
On players and trainers, assistants and coaches
Now comes the time when the first day approaches
Before the last chime of preseason has struck,
Goodnight to you all, and tomorrow good luck!
