Soccer

You're running. The sun is glaring hot in the sky. Sweat is dripping down the sides of your face. You are taking a penalty kick. As you stop running you begin to take quick rapid breaths. You look for an open spot...BOOM! You kick the ball up the field and you take off running a again.This is the thrill of soccer. I think soccer is a great sport.

One reason I think soccer is a great sport is because you get plenty of exercise. You get exercise at practices when you work on ball skills and drills. During your games and practices you run.There is a tremendous amount running in soccer. Before practice or the game you have to warm up by stretching. Stretching is a good form of exercise and it is important to do before running so you don' pull a muscle.

Another example of why soccer is a great sport is you learn important character traits. One trait you learn is teamwork. Teamwork is used throughout life. If you don't use teamwork in soccer your team won't have a chance of winning. You learn not to be selfish. You have to let others play the game too. Another trait you learn is fairness. If you don't play fairly you get get into a hefty situation.

The next reason why I think soccer is a great sport is it's fun! You get to hang out and play the game with your friends. You also make lots of new friends when you play soccer. You can compete in tournaments like Shoot for the Moon or other tournaments. Soccer is a very exciting sport to play and watch.
