One of the sports that I play and that I have played since the age of five is soccer. I have loved the game ever since I first started. My position that I play in is defense, I usually play on the right wing. Although I don't score goals my position is very important in keeping my team at the top of the table, my job is to stop the oppositions strikers from getting the ball into a position to attack our goalie. I play for Papamoa I have been in reserve grade Papamoa Tigers ever since we first got grades at the age of six.
My team the Papamoa Tigers last year won our grade and in past years have come close. I got a medal last year for fair play. I have been in this team in reserve grade with the same coach but not the same team for over 5 years. I think I've got a really good coach. I have trainings on Thursday and we play games on Saturday. This year the first four games we play are grading games for the 12/13 year olds and after that the competition will start. Just last Saturday we got smoked by this really really good team, I think they were the Otumoetai premiere team last year, they won the 12/13 grade last year and they were all only 12.
I hope the teams we have to verse in the future won't be as good as them. At the moment my soccer team is being tested to see if we should be in the premiere grade on in the reserves. I hope we can make it into reserves because that Otumoetai team will probably win again and we want a shot at winning.

Great photos. Soccer IS so awesome. Do you support a prem league team? It can be hard in Grade 12/13 when you're only 12 and up against a 13 year old team. Do you know your way around the fields at Gordon Spratt Park? If so, I'm envious because we can never find our pitch.
