Coca-Cola Soccer Team

15, December 2009

The coca-cola soccer team is a very advanced soccer team. It is split up into the A and the B team. The A team being better. 2 weeks ago they had try outs from 5:30-7:00 pm, every Wednesday. Trust me it's pretty exhausting. The coaches who decided the teams were Mr.Schwartz, Mr.Beech, Mr.Gareth, Mr.Lee, and Mr.Trapp. (My dad). This is the u-12 squad meaning that I was one of the oldest, which was good, because usually I'm one of the youngest and it's hard to make the A squad. Remember this is a league where schools compete. So basically the players are representing their school!

The coca-cola league is a great way to meet friends, and have fun although it's very competitive! First of all there is a league. And then there's a cup. In the league you can't get disqualified if you lose! Although the main point is to win, and score more goals. The cup is where the score doesn't matter. You just have to win the match. If you win you move on. If you lose you are disqualified! Sometimes the matches can be unfair, because sometimes they put a B team against an A team. Unfair, right?

Anyway the cup is sponsored by Greenfields milk, and the league is sponsored by coca-cola which works with Powerade. A drink soccer players need to boost up their soccer game! I've been in the coca-cola team lots of times already, and I'm hoping that this year it's going to be more exciting than all of my years that I've participated in. League games are usually played on Saturday, and cup games are usually always played on Sunday. I have no idea why they are played on separate days.

I have to say I'm very impressed with the teams this year, because the A, and B squads are really fascinating. I wonder if during the games they still have chocolate milk samples for greenfields. I have to admit they are pretty good! The referee's are really good, but sometimes they get too overwhelmed about the fouls. There are many people who wanted to be on the soccer team but of course there were cuts. I wish we could have as many people join, and make as many squads that we needed. I find it peculiar that some schools have more squads than the other schools.

It's better being the tallest, right?

I think it's better being the tallest than being the smallest, because you have way more advantages when your taller. Suppose you're playing basketball, or soccer. People that are taller have a better chance of getting the ball. Of course it's not bad being small, but I just think if you're the tallest you have a much easier time. This is from my description, and I don't know how you'll take it. But a big part of my life is soccer and it's not very easy to play soccer with a bunch of people that are way taller than you. I mean if you're a very fast soccer player you'll pass them quickly, but usually the taller people have an advantage!

Being the tallest person is way better than being the smallest person, because when a taller person comes up to you you feel trepidation, right? Plus when you're a taller person you have nothing to worry about. Although, there are some advantages of being small, like not bumping your head on a door. Or fitting through something... And much more. Another good thing about being tall is, when you're going to the movies. If you're a tall person you don't have to worry about who's sitting in front of you. And if you're a small person, you don't want a taller person blocking your view, right? Think about it.

It's the same thing with your class seating, a taller person always blocks the smaller persons view, so they can't see. Not on purpose, but just accidental. I don't know if this is a good thing for you, but I always want to be taller than my brother. Not that I want to humiliate him, but I just want to look like I eat my vegetables. Which I do occasionally... Sometimes... Seldom...

Being tall is great, it has so many advantages. Now you might not think being tall is great, but trust me it is great!

****

I gave this book 4 stars, because I felt a lot of connections, and it was hilarious, and very entertaining!!! Basically what I'm saying is that it was 3 thumbs up!

This book is about four sisters, with the last name Penderwick. They didn't know that they'd have to stay in a beautiful estate called Arundel for their summer holidays. Now let me just tell these sisters do everything together, but what they really love to do together is exploring! And the son of the owner is included in the fun too, I mean who would miss it? The owner's name is Arundel, and his son's name is Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is the perfect companion for the four sisters, I mean he's brave, strong, and caring! Exactly what they need in this holiday, because you'll never know what's going to happen. I hope I'm not giving away something...

The bad thing is that Jeffrey's mom is less than thrilled with the Penderwick sisters, and she always keeps a close eye on them. And the only thing you'll hear when she's around her son, and the Penderwicks is. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE! They will, right? In this book Jeffrey, and the Penderwick sisters will venture through their new journey.

Trust me, you'll never know what's going to happen! This book is packed with laughter, adventure, a little romance, and much much more!
