The fundraiser

I had to help with a fundraiser for the U8 soccer players. I was trying to encourage people to get their faces painted and play games so that we could get money for the players. It was a day that everyone seemed to enjoy.

Registration Day

Registration Day was a busy day. Everyone wanted to come in and get their child registered. I don't know if I've ever seen so many people in one place. I had many questions thrown my way and i was happy that I could answer them all. I even helped some people with the paper work.

The tournament organiser

I had to help organise a tournament. it is not that hard, it just takes time. I had to set the times for ALL the games and make sure that times were not double booked. It was an experience.

Concession stand

Working in the concession stand was very fun. I had to take peoples orders and get them what they wanted. I also had friends to help and to talk to which made it even more fun. This can help me with my business career.

Being a Referee ;)

I was shocked when coach Nigel told me that he needed me to be a referee. I had never done that before. I had to ref the U4 games. This was a lot easier then refing reguler games because they do not hav as many rules, but never the less, it is still a challenge. Those 4 year plds have so much energy! I was running up and down the field trying to keep up with them and ref the game farely. I hope I do it again

Green Day

The earth is somethin that we should take care of and not destroy. After all, it is where we live. At the soccer park we had Green Day. I helped to tell people about how they can help the earth and be more eco friendly. I also passed out water and picked up trash around the park.

Coaching

I coached the U6 kids and it was a blast! I helped them do drills and even ran with them. We even played a game where they had to pass the balls to each other and keep it away from the other players. The best part is, Coach Nigel said that I did a very good job and that I can do it again.

Coaching!

Wow!, Coach Nigel is going to let me coach. Ive never done this before. I am very excited. He says that I will be coaching the U6 kids. I hope im good.

Being a little creative

I have to be creative and come up with some drills for the U10 soccer players. I know that they are a little older and need something a little more challenging. I think I may have them practice their dribbling and shooting.

Rosters

I learned that before you can play a tournament or a game, you have to make sure that you as well as your team is checked off and cleared by the park. That was my job. I had to make sure that the coaches and their players were checked off. They came to me and told me their names so that they could play.

cleaning

Cleaning is a necessity. At a place of business, if u do not clean, then you will not look professional. I had to help clean the cocession stand. I had to learn where everything went so that I could put it away properly. It was extremely fun because Taylor and Diana were there to help. We joked with each other as we got the job done. cant wait to do it again!

Putting away and getting equipment.

Before a game or practice starts, it is my job to get all of the equipment that is needed for that day. I have tomake sure that all the fields are ready for the coaches to conduct their practices. I have to get the soccer balls as put the flags in the ground so that the players know where the fields end. Nothing here seems to be a chore. I enjoy helping others and seeing the gratitude in their faces when they come up to me to say thankyou.

breaking down the Fields

At the soccer park, I have to break down the soccer fields when the games and practices are over. This includes picking up the cones that were used in practice and getting the flags and getting the soccer balls. I also have to drag away the goals, but i have Nick to help me do that so its usually fun to do.

Helping Coach Louis

Helping Coach louis is very fun. I have to get the soccer ball that the soccer team has kicked away during warm ups befor the game. it is also a good way to get exercise lol. During the game I also get the balls that go out of bounds. All though this can be a chore, I get to watch an exciting game!
