It was hard for her to get up and run around and compete in the game, so she did not play as much as some of her teammates.

Every time someone on her team scored, I could hear the loudest cheer in my right ear, as if she was a fan at a sunday night football game. I would look, and she would be on her feet celebrating with her hands in the air. For Amy and everyone there, having refs and coaches like it’s the real thing is an incredible experience because that type of opportunity does not happen too often.

That team was called the Medford Strikers Soccer Club. This team was based out of Medford, New Jersey. She still continued to practice and play pickup games a lot outside of school and soccer practice. Her biggest mentor throughout her soccer career was a guy named James Galanis. He was working for the club when she started. James was the goalkeeping coach for the team that Carli was on. Carli wasn’t a goalkeeper but James still kept his eye on her a lot of the time.

“EWW!”, went the crowd when Blake fell to the ground. When Blake hit the ground, the turf did not give much at all. Furthermore, it resulted in him breaking his leg. To play on the turf, was a bad idea we all knew. Mr. Ray, athletic trainer, put his leg in a boot and gave him a pair of crutches to use. The next day Coach Topps sent a group message saying, “Guys, keep Blake in your prayers and visit him as teammates should.

I reach the circle of my teammates, and I slowly lower myself to the ground. I sit cross legged with a glare fixed on the ground in front of me; the forest green, artificial grass pokes through the densely packed, black, rubber pellets. I pull at pieces of this grass and fiddle with the rubber pellets, pushing them into my sweaty palm and seeing if they will leave indentations. I continue to do this as I see the coaches come over to update us, “Girls, we want to warn you that we will have to call an ambulance, but we are hoping it is just an allergic reaction that Casey is having.” My eyes start to well with tears of confusion and anger. I begin to fiercely pull the artificial grass apart to relieve my frustrations. My vision remains fixated on the turf, and I am lost in my own thoughts as I question the situation around me for some

BOOM! My head slams into the glass. Then suddenly I feel weak as I fall down to the ice. As I look up, my coach appears next to me asking me if I’m okay.

People have always loved to play games. The human race has created hundreds of thousands of games to entertain themselves and to compete with one another. The most beloved games are those of physical sports. One of these sports, that has become a worldwide phenomenon, is the game soccer. The entire world gathers every four years to send out their best team, and to see which country is the ultimate champion. To play the game of soccer, there needs to be referees to ensure that the players are safe and are following the rules.
