Tryout

will get you to where you wanna be in life. When I was was thirteen going into 8th grade I was trying out for the varsity field hockey team. I was down in Alabama visiting my dad during the summer before tryouts. I ran a mile almost every single day that summer to prepare myself for the tryouts. I was running one day, and I had the thought of how awesome it would be if I actually made the team. I wanted to play with my cousin Kerrianne her senior year. I looked up to Kerrianne growing up, and…

time, so that everyday we can challenge ourselves to get better everyday and get a better time. After the first day of soccer tryouts I was dead, I wanna to skip the rest of the week and just come back when tryouts were over. My feet were so inflamed and I could barely walk when I got home. I never thought I was out of shape until I experienced the first day of soccer tryouts, it was the most I’ve ever…

Did that really just happen? “Come join us at soccer tryouts next Friday at the main field after school!” read the big, white flyer which I had picked up previously in the week after hearing about this eye-opening news during morning announcements. I was sitting on the bench outside reading the details as I waited in line for the person whose reaction I was most anxiously waiting to see. As a 5th grader, my first instinct was to alert my mom right away, which is exactly what I did as soon as I…

other girl. We had a mini tryout for the two of us and we both made the team. The coaches were new to everything so we provided a guiding hand and put in our own opinions on how we could make the team better. Freshman orientation came and we passed out fliers about our upcoming tryouts and talked to people about the team. The day seemed like a success. The school’s Facebook page posted about the tryouts and a recorded phone call was sent to all of the students. Tryouts had a bright…

Tryouts were coming up and this time I knew I would make the team because in the summer our JV team won a championship. Finally all my hard work paid off when I saw my name on the list. My face turned red like an apple as I began to laugh and smile. The season…

it to varsity soccer Tryouts started at 6:30pm and ended around 8. My friend Miguel gave me a ride that last tryout. I remember being nervous because It was my last year I would be playing in high school and the only team I was able to play for was varsity. There was about 115 kids trying out, and 3 coaches looking for kids to play for them. The coaches were able to pick less than 22 players. There was a freshman team, junior team, and a varsity team. The last tryouts, everyone trying out…

“Good Luck , David” said my mom and my sister. It was finally the day that I was going to tryout to make the “A” team of the NJ Avalanche. I worked as hard as an Ant all year, I took hockey lessons before school and after school till 11 o’clock. I also went to different places for lessons, such as Ice House, Cutting Edge, Extra Edge, and Evolution Hockey. I started hockey because of Ryan, who used to be my friend till I moved to Illinois. I was over at his house, and he asked me, “Do you…

In the course of my life, I have overcome numerous situations with varying degrees of challenges. The most memorable was making my high school dance team. I viewed the challenge of making the team differently than the most average of dancers trying out. I had to work even harder than they did to make the team because my experience was less than average. At first, my observation of the other contenders dance skills terrified me causing enormous waves of self-consciousness. If I were to conquer…

Everyone has a talent in anything whether it’s a sport, music, or any kind of special activity. My talent just so happens to be is playing basketball. I have been playing basketball most of my life for about 8 years. It all started when I had moved into these apartments called “Oak Manor” I knew that once I go outside I’d have to make new friends, but in this case my friend Dishanique that I knew since elementary school comes up to me with a couple of her friends she introduced me to. I would go…

surprised since she hated gymnastics and dance. Cheer is just a combination of those!” says her mom. But of course her mom let her tryout for a cheer team. They immediately jumped into action searching for a cheer team she could at least tryout for. Tryouts for the only cheer team in calgary were weeks before, making the chances of making the team very slim. The day of the tryout was a dark and gloomy one, but not to Robyn. She was almost hopping with excited and nerves. The team embraced her as…
