This year in soccer we unfortunately didn’t win any games, but we did draw a game. A lot of our best players from last year moved up to the older team, which was one reason why we didn’t win any of our games. There were also not even enough players to make up a full team of 11. The closest we came to having a full team was 10, and we never had any substitute players, which made each game very tiring.
I was really happy this season that I scored 7 goals and got 5 assists. My favourite goal was a chip from outside the penalty box that I had to kick it over 7 people to get in the net. When I kicked it, the ball went over the players heads, over the goalies head, and landed in the back of the net. That was the same game that I got 2 more goals to score my first ever hat-trick.
Here are the results of the games for our season, along with my own stats for each game:
- 1 – 12, 1 goal, 10 players
- 1 – 2, 1 assist, 10 players
- 0 – 8, 9 players
- 0 – 4, 9 players
- 0 – 8,10 players
- 0 – 6, 10 players
- 1 – 4, 1 assist, 9 players
- 3 – 4, 2 assists, 10 players
- 1 – 6, 1 assist, 8 players
- 3 – 4, 3 goals, 7 players
- 1 – 1, 9 players
- 1 – 5, 1 goal, 10 players
- 2 – 4, 2 goals, 10 players
What really impressed me was that a lot of our players improved a lot during the season. They improved in tackling, kicking, dribbling, passing, and scoring. At the beginning of the season they weren’t as good, but by the end of the season they had improved a lot. If we played a few more games and had some more training, we might have won a game later in the season.
I am looking forward to next year and really hope that we will have enough for a team, since 4 of our players are moving up.
Great work. Keep going! You will only be stronger by playing better ( or more) opponents.
Awesome season Caleb! I’m so glad I was at your hat-trick game, but I’m still having a hard time working out which goal was my favourite. Possibly the one where you had a wall of players from the opposition defending the goal and you chipped it in over their heads and scored. 🙂 Can’t wait for next season!
Great job Rocket! I can see that without your effort and commitment, the season would have been even more difficult for the team. It can be easy to get discouraged when you team does not have enough players for each game, but your good attitude and positive contribution to the team made a big difference! Thanks for your summary of the season, even small improvements should be celebrated.
hi caleb i really like yourwebsite hope ur doing good ur friend bobby
Love the story and love, love, love the photos. I know you enjoy playing soccer so much and it shows through your writing. Of course, I’ve already told you how much I admire your attitude. I’m sure that your positive outlook, determination and commitment to the team helped you and the other players enjoy the season. Nice for you to experience such super personal accomplishments as well.
Grandpa really appreciates the stats 🙂
I love the colour of your shoes!
Well Big C, it was great to watch some of your games this last season and see just how much you enjoy playing.
You showed all the attributes of a true champion for your team and I am very proud of you.
Only a matter of time before the scouts from Adelaide United(The Reds) will take some notice of that lively and skillfull No.7 in the red and blue top.
