This week our assigned topic is to write about something exciting that happened to us in the past week. I am going to talk about the first soccer practice of the season with the Lady Jaguars. Lady Jaguars is the recreational soccer team I play on in the fall and spring. We put this team together last year because we all used to play under one team, called the Rockets, but after we started middle school nobody could make it to the practices or the games, so we dissembled the team. We all got together and decided we wanted to start playing again, so we found a new coach, recruited some new players and got to work.
It was 6:00 on Thursday August 22, Allison, Jane, Margaret, Jane, Cherish, Christina, Molly, Claire, Bozeman, Raven, Haleigh and me were all at Independence Park ready to start the first practice of the season. We started off by walking up and down the brown field, so the lacrosse team wouldn't take our spot. Then we just started chatting in the middle of the field. Finally our coach showed up, 15 minutes late, and told us to go run all 5 fields twice. Once we did that we stretched in what was suppose to be a circle but was more of a lump. We heard,"Get on the line!" and that meant it was sprint time. After we finished doing all over our sprints, we started a scrimmage. It started out 6v6 but one of the girls was knocked down by the beast, Claire is her real name, and couldn't play so we brought in Kate Holiday. Kate was my assistant soccer coach two years ago, and came back to give me privates so she came to watch me. We ended the scrimmage, 0-1, and ended practice with a couple more sprints.
