My Soccer Team^!!^!_!

C.I.S.C. (Cook Inlet Soccer Club)

This web page is about my soccer team and how we're doing. We're a travel/competitive team and so far we have gone to Oregon and Minnesota. This year we are going to Seattle and Idaho. Seattle is supposed to be a warm up, or so to speak, because we won state last year, and now we have to get used to playing on a big field without snow before we have to go to regionals in Idaho. Our coach thought it would be good for us to go to a smaller tournament (the one in Seattle) before we go to Idaho. We are going to regionals with only 12 people!!! That means 11 people on the field and one on the bench!!! Only one substitute!!! We have been constantly recruiting people since I have been on the team which has been about four years.

I started soccer the summer of second grade. I played recreational for two years and then one day my friend came up to me and asked me to go to a competitive tryouts with her for two teams named 'Comets' and 'Spirit'. We both made it on Spirit and have been there ever since. Just recently though, all of our club teams have been renamed Velocity....I don't like it very much, but I guess in sports it's not the name that really matters. To tell the names apart, each individual team is supposed to put a color or the coach's last name after the Velocity part of their name.
We are U-14 this year. Spirit was supposed to be the 'b' team from those two that I talked about up there^, but working hard made us believe that anythings possible, because soon we were beating the Comets every time we played them!
Take a look at some pictures below!!! All of these photos were taken during State Cup...which we won!!!
