1. WHY I LOVE PLAYING
SOCCER
By: Austin Frisch

2. When I was seven, my dog and I would go outside together and play with his
new ball. . I would kick and throw his new ball anywhere in the yard and he
would go run after it and return it to me.

3. I soon
started
playing
soccer with
him, which
sparked my
interest in
the sport. I
started
practicing
soccer with
my dog. I
joined my
first
recreational
(REC)
soccer team
when I was
eight.

4. While playing on the REC team, I met some new people and made new
friends. One of the major reasons why I enjoy soccer so much is the friends
that play soccer with me.

5. . I started
scoring goals
and actually
contributing
to the
team, which
made me like
the sport
even more. I
entered a few
tournaments
and won a
few medals
which made
me pretty
happy.

6. played REC until high school then I joined the high school team. I had a
lot more fun.

7. I was
nervous for
tryouts but
felt
accomplishe
d when I
found out I
made the
team. The
good news
is that we
didn’t really
have cuts.

8. . The practices were fun. Our team had a good time playing soccer and
joking around together.

9. Even though
our team
didn’t win
many
games, we
still had fun.
We ended
up winning
three
games. I will
definitely
continue
playing
soccer
throughout
high school.

10. . Soccer is by far my favorite sport. I enjoy playing it and the people I play
with.
