The field where we played was so big It was bigger than my house. We waited about 5 minutes to get registered, then they gave me a light blue jersey that i got to keep. I wasn’t the only kid so we dribbled the ball passed as they walked around watching us with clip boards. Then we played a game called finesse where we took two shots on the net the first one had to be on the 20 yard line but for the second one you got three touches including the shot but if both of your shots got blocked you were out. After that we had a scrimmage (a mini soccer game) and I scored two goals, but the team I played on lost. After that I went home feeling proud of what I did that day but also feeling
