The Big
Soccer Game!
“I can't wait till the big soccer game!” My name is Emily June and
I love soccer!! My whole family plays, that is why I love it so much. I have been playing soccer since I was 3, I
am the best soccer player on my team. I
know I am because the soccer coach always says good job to me and no one else,
and I score the most goals and pass the most!!
Tomorrow I have my big soccer
game. I am so excited that I was shaking!
I ran to my room and grabbed my jersey from my
drawer, my socks, my shin guards and my cleats. It was so hard to find every
thing...my room was so messy it was like a wild pig just got here and destroyed
my room!
HONK, HONK!! I heard
from outside. I ran down the stairs, and slammed the front door behind me. I hopped in my mom’s new clean shiny car and
we drove off to soccer practice. I hopped out of the car and got my water
bottle.
Then I heard the
soccer coach say, “Emily, “hurry up let's do some shooting before the game ok?”
“Ok that would be
great!” I said.
The drill we did was
we have 2 lines, one line has the ball
and the other has no balls so what we did is there was a defender and a goalie.
We had to pass, get to the goal and try to score. I was the defender and it was so easy but
later on we had to switch so someone else can be it. When it was my turn to get past the defender
I just passed to the other player and that made it really easy but then when
she passed the ball back I scored!!
The next soccer
drill was foot skills. We had very close cones and we had to go as fast as we
could go through them with a soccer ball!! It was kind of hard for me but I
have done it before so I was pretty good at it.
The last drill was running
drills. We had to run 10 laps around this giant soccer field!! It was really tiring but it was worth
it. At least I survived that horrible
run!
After the running drill we talked
about our positions for the soccer game tomorrow. I had the right wing. On that
position you stay on the right and you can score, pass, or you can do anything
as long as you're on the right side. I love that position because you get to
score, pass, and so much more. Oh and
did I mention that I love that position!!
I was so nervous for
tomorrow. WHat if I don't score any
goals! Or no one passes to me!! I was shaking!
I hope we win the soccer game. What if we don't win? What if I fall, or
get tripped! I hope I don't get injured
or anything. I just want to have a normal soccer game and win. I know my mom
will not be there but if there was a problem and I got hurt my best friend’s mom will totally just take
me to the hospital or the doctor’s.
My best friend's name is
Elizabeth. We have been best friends since we were 2!! We met each other at our pre-school. At our pre-school there was a option to learn
stuff when you were 2 like the alphabet, or the numbers up to 10. Our parents met first and that is how we met.
Now we are 12. We have been best friends
for now 10 years!! I think I have known
her longer than anyone one the soccer team!! We go to each other’s house every
day!!
Tomorrow I am going to
Elizabeth’s house after the big soccer game against Trumbull. I am so excited
to go to Elizabeth's house because she just got a brand new puppy!! She said
that it is a golden retriever! I love
those kinds of dogs because they are so so so playful and so fluffy!! I once had one but then it passed away. I was so, so, so sad. I cried
for a whole week!! I think it was the saddest thing that ever happened
to me. And that is why I really want to see her dog! Elizabeth named her dog
Chewy because the dog really likes to chew stuff.
After soccer practice I went home
and went to bed, I got dressed in my room, got on my hair tie, did my bathroom
routine. Then…I got in bed, in like 5
minutes I was so, so, so tired I fell
asleep and had a horrible nightmare that I was playing the big soccer game then
something happened, I tripped fell and sprained my wrist!! Then the coach
didn't blow the whistle and we ended up losing!! :( I really wanted to win
though I did not know it was a dream. I thought it was in real life so I woke
up so mad I felt like I was going to burst burst into a ball of fire!! At
around 7:30 a.m. I heard a nice calm quiet soothing voice, “Rise and shine
Emily, today is your big day!” My mom said to me when I woke up. I rushed out of bed so happily.
I went to get out of my PJ’S then
ran to my dresser to get my jersey.
After that I got my shin guards, soccer socks, and cleats on. I ran to the kitchen to get a water bottle. As I poured the water from the clean fridge I
heard the soothing sound of water dripping into a nice clean water bottle. I
went to the front door waiting for my mom to get to the door too. I yelled, “Come on Mom let's go!!”
“I’m coming!” she yelled back
right away. Right after she came I ran
outside and hopped right into the car, got buckled. Once she got in we went off
to the big soccer game!! I was bummed
that she could not come. She had to go
to work, she worked for a furniture company in New York.
When we got to the giant green
shiny grassy soccer field, I was so excited to play!! Then I heard the whistle!
We already knew our positions so When we heard the whistle we ran right to the
field and we got in them. I was the right wing and that is where you stay on
the right side and you shoot goals. When
we heard the second whistle that meant we are on the midline and we are going
to pass the ball. And that is how you
start the game. When Elizabeth passed me the ball I ran down the right side
towards the other team's goal I got close to the goal I was ready, I shot the
ball at the goal and I scored!! We re-started. The other team started on the
midline and they started running toward our goal. I went to tackle them but
when I came up to them they tripped me and I fell! My wrist hurt so, so, so bad
that I cried! This was exactly like my
dream! Elizabeth's mom started running
toward me into the field into the game.
I cried so hard I thought that I would die!! But the pain in my arm hurt
the most!! Elizabeth's mom said, “Are
you okay?”
“No,” I replied.
“Get up, we need to go to the
doctor,” Elizabeth's mom said.
“Ok” I replied.
I got up and started walking to
the car. When I got in, my arm hurt so
much!! When we got to the doctor, we
walked in the building, then we went to the front desk and told them what
happened. She showed us the way to the
X-ray room. There was a doctor in
there. She had blond curly, soft, shiny
hair.
She took my x-ray and we found out that I
sprained my wrist!! I was so
horrified. The doctor said that it won't
hurt a bit once the cast is on. She
asked what is your favorite color? I
like pink!! She looked in her desk drawer and got out a pink cast. I loved it!!
But I hated the feeling of having a sprained wrist. She gently put the
cast on. She was right and it didn't
hurt a bit!
After I got my cast Elizabeth,
and Elizabeth's mom and I went back to the soccer game to see who is going to
win. When the soccer coach saw me and my
cast, he said that I could be the mini coach because I can't play soccer. I was so excited when I heard that I could be
the mini coach!
6 months later……
I was better! I was relieved! I
can play soccer again!!! We got an email
from the doctor saying that I can take off the cast! I was so excited to play soccer! I remembered
I have a soccer ball in my room so I went to get it. When I got it I ran out the door SLAM!
In a zip I was outside. I started dancing with my soccer ball and
jumping on the ground!
But…
I
couldn't wait till the next soccer game!
