Soccer Training/ Little game
A perfect day, Saturday. In the car with to surprise guests with me my nephew Paige and Levi. Staggering out of the Ute because of a late night sleep and forgot until morning to come I was greeted by my team. Our coach Allan had a peculiar look on his face as if he'd seen Paige and Levi before. Suddenly it clicked in his head. He gave the 2 a big greeting for a couple of seconds, after we were straight into it. Commencing off with ball control strolling around cones trying to avoid hitting the small obstacles. Soon after the first activity Allan added a new part to the course, scoring.
Lining up for a turn as I glare at Pranav as his turn was in progress. I was 2 people away. Advarn Levi and me. Giggling a bit as someone hit the side of the goal and hit a person in the back turning back to look at the cones I was in front of the queue. I was soon past the last cone behind Levi as we were a few metres away from goal. Preparing my shot as my foot was behind me, and strike right under the ball. Peering back at the goal as I watch the ball hit Levi in the back. Sprinting to the ball again striking it again with a feeling that floated around my head, whispering friendly fire. Finishing up with a final goal it was game time. Taking striker position, awaiting the pass from Levi, the whistle blew. Booting the ball to wade on the sideline. Slowing marking one of the opposition the ball skimmed my hair.
Right behind me, Levi stopped the ball. Slowly continuing up the sideline with Tuirangi sprinting to the ball preparing a slide tackle. Observing the area for the nearest teammate. With Levi back at defending position and the nearest teammate was by the oppositions goal, I decided to bring it up. Running out of sideline as I was nearly at the end I strike the ball over in front of goal. Watching was all I could do for the next 5 seconds as the ball sat there motionless till goalkeeper kicked it back. Nearing 12:30, the final minute remaining. Goes out game over, Goal game over. Goalkeeper kicked it down, every striker and midfield sprinting at the ball. First to the ball kicking it down to Levi but soon after the ball was kicked out of his legs and over the line. Allan calling us in just to say good game and practice next week.
