My Soccer Season : 2015

    

     You better believe that I LOVE soccer! I have been playing since I was four, out of the Russell Soccer Club. We play two times a week in June and July, but I wish I could play three times a week, ALL year long!

This year, I played U9 on the orange team, sponsered by Russellpro. My coach is great! Coach Rob is my best friend's dad and he is great coach because he runs great practises and gives good advice during the game.

Coach Rob and I

During a game, Coach Rob will say,

"Hustle!"

"Orange, take a (insert other team's colour) shirt!"

"Kick it up the field!"

"That's your ball, Orange!"

"Keep your eye on the ball! Run backwards, Orange!)

"Who's got it, Orange?"

"Shoot it!"

"Hustle!"  - He says that alot! It's good.

When he says, "Hustle!" he wants us to run our hearts out and challenge the other team for the ball. Coach Rob taught us how to pass, when to pass and where to pass. Something new that Coach Rob taught us this year is corner kicks. Corner kicks is when someone kicks the ball from the corner of the field, to the middle of the crease in front of the net. A good corner kick sets up your team for a goal.

I got this when I picked up my uniform.

My soccer season is over, but I've got plans for the rest of my summer vacation. Coach taught me some foot work that I need to improve on. I will continue to watch YouTube videos - OnlineSoccerAcademy.  Jared Montz has some good tips on how to improve your game. Finally, my family plans to see an Ottawa Fury home game. I would like to become a better soccer play for U10, next year.

These are the Ottawa Fury home games
that I can go to.
