I am on a club soccer team and I have a great time. I started playing on this club team in July, and I kept on playing. We are called SLO Motion but we aren't slow. We have a lot of fun enjoying our favorite sport.
      Our coach that started the season with us was named Mark Buckman. He taught us really well then I think he got to busy. So we eventually got a new coach. Her name is Coach Dezeray. She is really nice and sweet, but she works us really hard. We have gotten in really good shape just when she was here. I really enjoy having a change of coaching. Sometimes you kind of want to tell her that Mark taught us a different way, but you have to respect the coach because she knows best!
      My club team has only been in one tournament this year. It was in Santa Maria and we got third place out of four. That was pretty good for not being on the same soccer team for a while. Most of the other club teams have been around for about four to five years. Some club teams have been around forever.
       We have a lot of players on our team and we are still getting more people. My teammates are named: Anu, Ailea, Lisa, Kyla, Micaela, Jessica, Sarah B., Sarah H., Micah, Alysa, Kristen, Jazz, Olivia, Kendra, Tara, Rachel, Tina, Katie, and of coarse me!!!
        At practices you have to take them really seriously, or you will find yourself running laps. If you pay attention the coach will really appreciate it and you will learn more about soccer. At soccer practice we learn basic moves to get around players. They are really neat. Sometimes you get really frustrated if you can't do a certain move, but you have to keep trying. We learn better passing drills and control with the ball.
        We have played in league games. They are really fun but they don't really count for anything. It is like a scrimmage. We won one of those games because we are just beginners, all of the other games they started to stop keeping score. It was kind of embarrassing at some points when they started making goals like crazy!!!!
         Soccer is my favorite sport in the world but I also enjoy other sports. Right now I am on a basketball team we are doing pretty good. I am going to try-out for track and in the meantime I surf. So, to put it this way, I love sports! I love to run, so if any sport doesn't involve running or getting tiered I wouldn't want to do it.
         Back to my soccer team. There is not much more to say. All I can really say is that I have a blast being on that team. Whenever I come to practice it just puts me in a wonderful mood. I love kicking the ball it just feels so good. The best part is that I get to be with my friends having a lot of fun doing the sport that we can all agree is really fun. I hope to stay on my club team for a long time. Probably until High School or College. In college I want to try-out for Cal Poly's soccer team and watch everyone in the audience cheering on just like me right now.
