Girl Football Season has started! I'm very excited to play, become the part of our girl football team and win the tournament which will be held here at OSC. There were a lot of people trying out for the team during the first few practises, which was a good thing to see. However, some people started to drop off because it was too much for them but some tried even harder. Since the team lost its wings and a goalie, we would need good replacements which I could already see who would be able to stand at the spots. Chrisni Mendis (Basketball star) will play as our goalie this year. She is new and still need a guidance to help her with reading the game. So, I decided to offer her a hand to be a trainer. Since my sister was a goalie for the team last year, I had to work with her one by one and trained constantly, I think I would be able to work with Chrisni too. Reading the game is one of the most important thing for the 'last man' and a goalie to play football. Again, I was the 'last man' for the team last year, so I have the skill of reading the game and able to see the direction where the ball is going towards. These are the skills that Chrisni needs to be used to. I am here to help!
Goal for the season
- Last two years ago when I was in grade 9, I was a striker for the team, although it did not work quite well because I was very small and lacked of game experiences. However, last year, I was the 'last man' who protects the goalie and the goal. I can proudly say to myself that I tried my best and we came 3rd place! This proved that I'm able to intercept the ball and screaming outstandingly. (Laughing) However, this year, I would like to try something new, something more challenging. Mid field player. My goal is to become a mid field player. It would costs me a lot of training to get my body fit and able to run the whole game, back and forth. Mid field's job is to support the forwards and the defenders depending on the ball's direction. It is going to be a hard job, but this would be the major goal of the season.
- I'm already assigned to help Chrisni train her goalie skill. I've planned out different steps of training for her.
- Catching, Grabbing, Throwing, Kicks and Passes
- Reflexs and Agility
- Body Pushing
- Commitment hands and body
- Corner Balls
- Trapping the striker
- Read the Ball and Game
At the end of the season, she would be able to read the game and receive a hard kick such corner kick during real matches.
- Learn new skills in football and adapt it into a real game situation. - To keep fit and don't get tired half way through the game, in order to do so, I need to train constantly and drink a lot of water.
Most Important: Have A blast with the season!
