Soccer

I’ve been playing soccer my whole life. I grew up with soccer, and it’s a sport that I hold dear to my heart. I would love to play soccer when I grow up, even if it isn’t in a professional league.

I’ve been playing soccer for my whole life and it is a major part in my life. I started playing in town soccer, moved on to travel soccer, and later on joined a club. I joined Three Lions United about two years ago. I am very glad and fortunate to play in this club. This year, the rules of soccer changed. They separated the teams by the year players were born. I was born in 2002, so I am in a team with girls that were all born in 2002. On my team there are girls in my grade and girls in a grade above me. We practice three times a week, and have games or tournaments almost every weekend.

This year, we mainly played in tournaments. Out of 4 tournaments we got 1^st in three of them and 3^rd in the other one. We got first in the Nike Classic, The Halloween Classic, and the State Cup. In the three tournaments that we won, we had a clean sheet. A clean sheet means we weren’t scored on. We had a really great season this year and I hope we continue playing as well as we did these past games.

I play right back, which is a defensive position but I have to run up and help offensively. My position requires a lot of running. From running up to help offensively to sprinting back if my team loses the ball. For high school, I hope to be a starter on varsity. However, I must work hard and practice my foot work to live up to my dream. My favorite soccer team is F.C Barcelona. My brothers, my dad, and I love to watch their games and see the 11 different players work as one. My favorite player is Lionel Messi. He is an outstanding player and a great person.
