So every year from year 5 - 8 we do winter sport, where we are given 4 Sports (Football, Rugby, Hockey and Netball) to choose from I have chosen Football every time! and this year was no different I got into the 'B' team also known as the Falcons. Now not to toot my own horn here but Most of the 'A' Team players said I should be in the 'A' team I think it is mostly to do with (not to toot my own horn) the fact that I am probably the best defender in the school.
First game, Me and the B team lined up and one of the teachers said that the 'C' team needed a substitute as they only had 8 players (we play 9 a side) I put my hand up to volunteer and they picked me, I went with the 'C' team and we won 3 - 0! and I put a quite frankly beautiful pass to get an assist
Second game, Me and the B team lined up and one of the teachers said that I needed to go into the 'A' team because they were a player short so I went with the 'A' team and I did my defensive duties and we won by a staggering 5 - 1 scoreline!
Third game, Me and the B team lined up and one of the teachers said that I needed to go into the 'A' team once again because they were again a player short so I went with the 'A' team and I did my defensive work which was hard because half way through my foot started hurting and their winger that I had to defend against was really fast but we still narrowly won 2 - 1
But then in the 4th game I finally played for the 'B' team!
So, that was my Winter sports blog hoped you enjoyed, If you play (or could) winter sports what sport would you choose out of Football, Rugby, Hockey or Netball?

Great post Nicolaas - great that you volunteered to help other teams out - I am sure the other players were very grateful - sounds like you were a pretty handy team member! If I was playing Winter sport again I would play Netball - mainly because it is what I have played in the past. I have never played football because I have never understood the off side rule - I wonder if you could explain it easily to me?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply, The offside side rule is when an attacking player is offside, they have broken the rules by being nearer to the goal than a defending player when the ball is passed to them (The rule does not apply if the defending player is above the halfway line)
