On Monday after the initiation party, the team had its next practice. It was an unusually warm day in Iowa for mid-September, in the mid-70s and sunny. With their first game coming up on Saturday against a conference rival, Coach Alex was determined to work them hard early in the week and then let them rest before the big game.
"Okay guys, get ready for a tough one. We're going to start with some drills, and then wrap up with a scrimmage. I'm even going to play with you all as an added challenge," Alex announced enthusiastically, looking excited to get in on the action himself.
As the guys began their first round of drills, most of them quickly realized it was too hot for shirts. They each pealed of their jerseys, clinging to their bodies from the sweat, to reveal their muscular chests, abs, and backs that had been hardened by weeks of tough practices and strength training. Most of the guys now had on only their soccer cleats, crew socks, and short fitted training shorts. It was a sea of rounded, firm asses and glistening, tanned bodies. Even Coach Alex, just two years older than everyone else and in the prime of his athletic life, took off his shirt, showing off his godly musculature. Jake loved playing with this soccer team.
Of course, everyone's physique was no surprise to him after the party. They had spent all night together in the buff, drinking, running, and cumming in an effort to promote team bonding. And from the start of practice, it was clear the plan had worked. The guys seemed far more spirited, comfortable, and determined as they went through round after round of challenging drills. They were looking to be in good shape for Saturday's match.
After about 45 minutes, they moved into a scrimmage. The teams were broken up into upperclassmen versus underclassmen, with Alex playing with the younger guys to make it more even. Each team had something to prove, making them play with a determined and hard-working attitude.
After another 45 minutes, Coach Alex blew his whistle to signify the end of practice. The guys huddled up around him, shoulder to shoulder in the heat. Jake could smell their sweat, the sexy aroma of athletic guys who really put in some effort.
"Nice work, everyone," said Alex. "I'm really proud of you all. If you can keep that up, we'll have a great shot for Saturday."
The guys cheered, slapping each other on the backs.
"Let's go shower up, eat a big meal, and rest for another tough practice tomorrow!"
After grabbing their water bottles and shirts, they hustled to the team locker room to clean up. Since Alex had played with them too, he threw off his shoes and shorts with the rest of the guys and joined them in the gang-style showers.
As they water heated up and everyone began to rinse off, they started to chat.
"That was a super tough practice, Coach," said Cole, a junior forward.
Some of the others at Cole's showerhead nodded in agreement but were sure to mention how much fun they had had despite the challenge.
"Well I'm glad you liked it," Alex replied. "You guys really were looking great out there. I don't know what happened, but it's like you were all of a sudden reading each other's minds."
The team laughed, realizing that Alex still didn't know about their bonding event two nights before. Jake decided to pipe up.
"We did have a little 'get to know you' party on Saturday night, Coach," he said with a sly smile. "Seems like it worked!"
Cole slapped Jake on his bare ass, saying "I mean, I sure had fun!"
The dudes burst out laughing, knowing that Jake had sucked Cole off. Coach Alex smiled at first, but then his expression changed as he put together all the pieces.
"Hold up. Did you guys have a hazing party? You know the team could be suspended if anything about that came out."
Eric denied it quickly. "Coach, it definitely wasn't hazing. First off, we were just having a little party at the house with the usual stuff, like getting drunk and being stupid. And everyone did every activity together - not just the freshman or something."
"Okay, okay," said Alex, still concerned. "That wasn't a good idea though. Jake, I'm surprised that as team captain you didn't think of the consequences."
Ethan, a new sophomore on the team, came to Jake's defense.
"With all due respect Coach, it really wasn't a hazing event. Plus, you're one to talk - I saw you fucking Jake after practice on the first day!"
