I spend a majority of my time playing the great game of soccer. I play 5 times a week plus more time with practicing off the field. This doesn't leave much time for a lot of other things. In my website you will find out what it's like playing for a high level team that requires lots of commitment while being a teenager in the 21st century.

This is my old soccer team in Seattle in 2016

I play for the club Coastal FC in the South Surrey/White Rock Area. I play for a BC soccer provincial league (BCSPL) team. I have 2 hour practices Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, go to Elevation Fitness on Saturdays, and have games on Sundays in so many different places. Some games are at south surrey athletic park, our home field, but also range from there to coquitlam, all the way to Vancouver Island, and Kamloops for just one game. Coastal Fc is an amazing club with amazing coaches who encourage you do to your best. I've been playing at the same club since the age of 7, and have worked my way up to where i am now. The BCSPL teams are connected to other provincial programs like, whitecaps REX teams, and all the way to the Canadas womens team. Personally i have been invited to matches withi the whitecaps Rex team programs many times. Only a few players get invited from each team. I have missed school due to these matches. Playing soccer is lots of fun but Coastal FC has made my experience a lot better, and is an easy way to make new friends.

Just like with every activity, and sport there are its advantages, and disadvantages. With high level sooccer it has it's disadvantages but the advantages weigh them out. Soccer has become my life ever since the age of 10 when i made it on to my first rep team. My favourite part of playing is the friends I've made. A lot of the girls have become my closest friends, and it makes me excited to go to practices, and play with my amazing teammates. I have made friends I don't play with anymore but I will know for life. Another amazing thing is going on vacation. The first small trip i went on was to Seattle at the age of 9. I've been 3 times to Seattle over the years with my teams. I've been to Las Vegas twice, and Arizona once all for soccer. One of the best parts about going on trips is that you don't stay even in the same hotel as your parents. You stay with normally 3 other girls who you get assigned with a room in. The coaches take you for food, and get parents to sometimes drive too games if its too far to walk. We get to go to the mall, and pool. An other thing that's really great is the opportunities. You can go to whitecaps programs, all the way to the Canadian team. A lot of people who don't wanna do soccer proffesionally also play to get scholarships for colleges. Basically everyone who keeps playing is offered a scholarship when your in grade 12 plaing. Overall soccer is just a really fun sport with competition, and people who work hard.
