Ring!!
The bell run indicating that class were over for the morning due it being the first day back we were only give morning class.
The long speech they had for welcoming the students and staff back skip our first session of class which was Maths.
English being the only one for him and the rest slowly he pull the chair back standing up reach for his bag he walk over to Jake.
Alex is waiting on Jake who was blabbering his big mouth to his team mate about try outs.
" Coach is having try-out today I think you should join." Jake said looking up at him.
" I don't think I should-"
" Come on dude we both know how good of an athlete you are like you workout everyday and you have skill to be on the team man."
He really want him to join the team it would be more enjoyable even with those assholes on the team.
Walking out the class he led Alex and his friend following behind down the corridor to the field outside he explain to Alex who all he might see on a daily basis if pass the coaches test.
On the right was where the track and field was located on the left was a blue building was were the swimming test was located.
Stretching on his tippy toes he put his arm around Alex shoulder " Don't stress too much you'll only have 3 phase to go through."
They watch as people run pass them going to different side of the place." Why are they only doing a try out now in the second semester ?"
"Well initially Coach Bae didn't think we'll need the try out but Chaoch Williams talk him into it some move to a different school while other got kick out of the team I don't know the number they're going to pick so go out there and kick some ass."
(A/N : I barely know anything in soccer but I did do my research on the internet if you see any mistakes or thing I made wrong feel free to tell me enjoy.)
Soon they heard a whistle being blown " Alright gather around and quiet down." One of the Coaches yell " Now the rest of you will watches at the tryouts go seeing the number of people who came we'll only need 5 you boys have to show us what your made of or you could go home."
" There'll be three phases you go through First is your speed you have to be fast on the field or the ball will be taken by the other team, players need to have speed to prevent the offensive players from making runs past them."
" The easiest way for teams to score is to slide through balls to wingers and strikers trying to get past the back line, so defenders need to have the speed to catch up with them quickly that's what we're looking at."
" Second we'll be looking at your foot work includes dribbling and maintaining possession of the ball if you want to be on this Soccer team you'll have alot of work to do, Third will be you against our goalie, Line up your First phase will begin the rest of you on the benches." He shouted.
Jake gave me a thumbs up and good luck before running off with the others I'll be lying if I said I wasn't nervous unfortunately I was and the anxiety wasn't helping either.
You know that feeling you get on exam day when your heart starts beating too fast, pumping too hard, or fluttering and it slowly crawls up to your throat and you feel like your suffocating and you wish it would just stop, it feel like a life time but it's only there for a few seconds yeah that's how I'm feeling right now.
Lining up in a circle we do our leg warm ups then some sit ups and jumping backs going into our positions there was at least ten of us here walking to lane 5 we waited on the coach to finish talk
The Coach stands at the side line raising his left hand in the air the gun goes off.
Bloom
I started running as fast as I could you could feel the wind in air sand the exciting shouts from behind we were doing a 200m races and I love every second of it as I near the end I applied a little more pressure to my legs going faster than before.
" Good job boys come on let's keep it going."
The Second phase wasn't too hard we were told to do long dribble it all comes do to when to pass to a teammate comes down to timing, awareness, and experience or from what Jake told me.
If you dribble through two or three players and then lose the ball to a fourth which is risky next is your attempting to change directions whether it inside or outside to stop your opponent from stealing the ball from you learn they weakness is your best choice.
"Get Back In Position Mate!!!"
"Get The Ball!"
"GO GO GO ! GOOD hustle."
Coach Williams had some of the boys on the team play against us trying to take the I had a few slip up nothing too bad though three more people got enlim.
" We're on your finish phase this is scoring a against this guy give it all you have" He said smiling at us.
The other guys two of them shot at the corner scoring the point while the other two did down middle shots the goalie was tall so it would be harder for them to grab the ball.
I was the last person everyone practically made it taking a slow breath I walk on the field.
It's tryouts not the fricking Olympics
All you have to do is score you've done it a million times with jake so just calm your ass down.
Turn my back to the goal I throw the ball up in the air jumping up I fall backwards in an airborne way, I used my left leg kicking with while also bringing my right leg out use my leg to kick at the ball, bringing my free leg down simultaneously I stretch out my arms out to couch my fall.
Silence then exhilarating scream surround me jake ran out of his sit he hugged me tightly.
I made it
I made it
I keep think over an over again, he press a palm to the heart you could hear how hard it was beating closes my eyes I let out a huge breathe of relief.
" For the five of you left Congrats on make the team I hope you continue to work hard, in the team locker room and we is where all the stuff you need your uniforms, practice gear, take a shower go home and rest we'll see you tomorrow. "
We all shouted a series of 'Yes sir'
" Let's go home I'm beat." Jake walk off in the parking lot direction.
