Our Regional Journey


Our journey started when our coach told us we were going to play in the Presidents Cup. He told us that it was going to be a tournament in Appleton. So, we all thought it was just going to be another regular tournament. Then he went on explaining it and he said there was a bigger part. He paused for a second and then said, “If we win we’ll go to Kansas for Regional’s!” The parents agreed to let us take part because they didn’t think we’d have much of a chance.

The weekend of the tournament came and our first game was against Croatia. That was a tough game but we ended up winning 2-1. Now we’re in the championship against the Neenah Gunners. There was so much on the line that everyone gave 110% Our goalie played outstanding and so did everyone else. We ended up blowing out the team 3-0. We were awarded medals and took pictures and then our coach talked to us about Regional’s. He said to arrange carpools and he said he can’t wait.

In June we drove down to Overland Park, Kansas. While we were there we saw a Brewers game. They lost but it was still fun. That next morning we had our first soccer game. We pulled up to the fields and they were amazing! There were 12 fields and they were all nice turf that had a cooling and heating system. Our first game we played Missouri. That was a fairly easy game that we won 5-0. Our next game the next day was against Kentucky. We were winning 2-1 and then we let up 3 more goals and lost that game. The final game was against the Chicago Fire Juniors. We got blown out by them. Even though we didn’t win Regional’s we still had the time of our lives.

  1. I really like your essay, but there are very few thing that i think you could have done better. The first thing that I think you could have read through it out loud and made sure all of it made sense. The finial thing is that I thought You should Have had more of a conclusion.
