soccerrrrr

 

 

        This is Blue Grass Baptist's first year having a soccer team. Very few people on the team have played soccer before, and the rest have never played before. We started practice at the beginning of July so we haven't had much practice or work put in as a team. Two of our coaches have played competively in a league even after college with soccer. the coaches have been great confidence boosters, and they know exactly what they're talking about.

        In no way are any of us legit soccer athletes on the team. Several people still do not understand the game and how it works completely, but everyone else is starting to pick up the game and becoming solid players. Our team has two permanent captains, and a different third captain for each game. The third captain is chosen by the two permanent captains depending on how the individual acted and played in the previous game.

           Soccer has become a great sport that all of us have enjoyed so far. During the game we all have the funnest time. Although we still haven't found the chemistry to score goals more often, it's still a blast. Since this past Tuesday, we have finally found a position for everybody that they feel comfortable with.

           Different people play soccer for different reasons. A lot of us on the team play basketball too for our school, so we started off playing soccer so we could get in shape. But that has completely changed! Of course we basketball players are now reaping the benefits by being in shape, but our reasons for playing have definitely changed. We now play because we've started to grow a liking for the game, because it's fun, and because we've grown closer to each other. There are also other players on the team that don't play basketball. Most of them have never played sports before, so they're playing to have fun and for different ways to become friends with other people. The whole team has come a long way since the beginning and we still got pretty much the whole season to become better!
