Soccer

By Philip Choi

Soccer is the best sport! I love soccer because you can kick the ball, or you can be a goalie and block a goal or you could dribble the ball. To be a good soccer player, you need to really practice. Then you will be able to score more goals, block more goals and dribble better than before.

In soccer, you have to kick the ball and try to score. It is so much fun to shoot the ball and to kick it really hard. Or if you do a really cool trick and score, you will be really proud. If you nutmeg the goalie, it will be really funny.

Nutmeg means when the ball goes through the goalie’s legs. The best thing in soccer is when you celebrate. The other team will be really annoyed.

If you are the goalie and if you block a goal, you will be really proud of yourself. Your teammates will hug you tightly. Even if you did not block a goal, your teammates will cheer you up. If you do a super save, people will shout out your name.The best part is if someone tackles you inside the box, your team will get a penalty shot.

If you are a defense or a forward, you need to dribble the ball. Dribbling is when you are pushing the soccer ball to make more chances to score a goal. When you are good at dribbling, you can do a dribbling skill called ‘‘Scissors’’ which you could do if you cross your foot across the ball. Or you could do other cool dribbling skills in soccer too.

These are the main things in soccer that I love to practice. My favorite is stopping goals because it is so much fun. What is your favorite position in soccer?
