I was a Varsity Cheerleader for 2 years , a catcher for the varsity girls softball team I also was a player on the Variety Basketball team. For cheer leading that was the first sport I ever participated in and that's where I discovered that I enjoy yelling from the top of my lungs…

There were times where varsity was a little isolated from the second team girls but I don't think it was on purpose I just think that comes with the hard season. They all were so nice and especially at the end of the season I felt everyone grown a lot closer no matter our grades…

back into the school volleyball tryouts my junior year of high school, I made the varsity volleyball team. I was very happy that I made the varsity team, but I did not progress during the season very well. I tried out for the Richmond Volleyball Club age 17 Metro Team during the off-season to push myself even more. I was just as nervous for this tryout as I was when I was a freshman trying out for the junior varsity school team. I worked very hard and ended up making a higher level team than…

sister was playing her last. I wanted to improve my skills and be my own player, not only be known as the varsity captain’s little sister. I was exhausted every day after practice, however I eventually gained a deeper understanding of the game and grew to love it. Over the next three years I moved up the team ladder playing on both JV and varsity as a sophomore, finally moving up to varsity as a junior and senior.…

wrong. Suddenly practices got longer and games got later at night and homework started to pile up and I was swallowed in stress and worry. Transitioning onto a varsity team from a middle school team was hard. I was the “Big Dog” on the Junior high team and it was like being thrown into a pool full of sharks when I walked out onto the varsity field thinking I was the “Big Dog” and they chewed me up and spit me back out. Truth be told, I was not a starting player. Throughout the season I showed…

Virginia. Next fall, Patrick, 17, would like to try out as a kicker on the football team at Freedom High School in South Riding, Va., but he is home-schooled and thus ineligible. “My parents pay the same exact taxes as my next-door neighbor who plays varsity sports,” he said. “I…

“To the windows, to the walls, to the walls, till the sweat drips down our socks, all these girlies rock! Park View Soccer!” The Park View varsity soccer team yelled before going on the field. They knew that they could win this game if the played as a team. This is the game that they have been waiting for. The game that would show everyone that they are the champions and always will be. Dribble, pass, shoot, the fundamentals of soccer. What you do when you play soccer. You get better at…
