Soccer college showcase

This weekend and my club and I played a college showcase in Oceanside, San Diego. It was a 3-day showcase with 4 teams in each bracket. My team and I just moved up a level, so now we are NPL, but we were still playing teams a division higher than us. We went the weekend undefeated, with a tie in the first game on Friday, a 3-1 win on Saturday, and a 4-0 win on Sunday. I played almost the entire game every game, with only being out for 5 minutes each day. My teammates and I didn’t just play soccer; we also went to the mall, and many of us got lunch and dinner together. My mom and I stayed in a hotel right next to the fields, so it was very easy to go from the field to the hotel without going out of our way. My team has a very good chance at winning the state cup this year, and we could also win in Vegas, where there will be so many college scouts.

Girls Soccer

The girls’ soccer season just started, but I was told that I’m not allowed to play in the first game because of my club team, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, because all of my club teammates are allowed to play scrimmages with their high school team, and I’m not. If this tournament weren’t such a big deal, I wouldn’t play in it, but this tournament will be the first time my team plays as NPL, and my team needs every player they can get this weekend. Hopefully, the OVS girls’ team will be ok without me, but they might not do so well. But it is their first game, and no matter who they have, it always tends to be bad. I also hope that Paloma comes back soon because I feel like people listen to her the most, and I have a hard time getting my teammates to listen to Mrs. Carver and me when we’re doing a drill.
