Soccer
The ten years of soccer I was playing everyday sadly had to come to an end because of my knee surgery. The passion I had for the game persuaded me to play club soccer and AYSO. I had a lot of experience from playing AYSO when I was younger, so I confidently tried out for club soccer team named The Dragons. This club team was U16 which was two years older than me but I was up for the challenge and confident I would fit right in. Also I was excited to learn new skills from the older girls, always room to improve.
I started AYSO when I was five years old, but at that time it was more for fun and cute to watch. As I got older AYSO was much more competitive and really taught me the game of soccer. When I was in U8 I really started to take …show more content…
Each position had its own role on the field. For example, a goalie's job is too keep the other team from kicking the ball in the net to score. Goalie's are the only player on the field that can use there hands to stop the ball only if they are in the goalie box. Depending on how the goalie stops the ball determines how they release it back on the field to there teammates. They can release it by drop kicking the ball, or throwing the ball with two hands over there head. Also a goalie kick which is on the top right or left of the goalie box whichever side they …show more content…
They have to shin guards, socks to cover the shin guards, and cleats. We cant wear jewelry while playing and need to have shin guards and socks to play. The games are two twenty five minute halves and the coach can switch players on the field when the ball isn't in play.
When I played the positions I mostly played was defense and forward. I like both positions a lot and each position is important in the game. I'm glad I joined AYSO before club soccer because AYSO taught me to be an expert and be confident when I'm playing. If I didn’t join AYSO first, I probably wouldn’t have been able to play U16 and keep up with them as well.
After I tried out for The Dragons I was nervous I wouldn’t make the team and the girls were much older. But I tried to keep up the best I could, it was a little intimidating. About a week later I got a call that I did very good and they wanted me to join the team, but not The Dragons. They wanted me to join a U14 team name Diamonds and the girls on the team were my age, so they thought it would be a better fit for

There are 12 seconds left in the game.

Personal Narrative: The Sport Of Soccer

Soccer! Soccer may be just another sport, but to some it is a lifestyle. It is so much more than a game to play, much more complex than just trying to get a black and white checkered ball into the opponent’s net. For many, soccer is just a sport, but for few, soccer is everything, especially for me. To me, soccer is more than a sport because it involves many senses such as sight, touch, smell, and hearing, which is why, I believe, soccer means so much to me. First of all, some may never get the…

made my soccer coach believe that I have right to be nicknamed “Killer”, or maybe it’s something else. Maybe it’s due to my playing style story: a ruthless and outrageous beast doing anything to get the ball from his opponents despite not knowing organized soccer at first. Maybe it’s because of my origins: a kid that has lived most of his life in Reading, but whose story originates from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Whatever the reason is, now everyone that knows me and my connections to soccer knows me…
