At this time it was about two weeks away till school starts. Soccer tryouts were right around the corner. Lacrosse wasn’t over yet so I was still pretty busy. My dad told me that I could try out for the U13 Burnaby metro team. I was pumped. So long story short it got shut down by some old man that didn’t want his good players going to a different club.

So I’ve played with BGSC (Burnaby girls soccer club) for about seven years. And they set up there first metro team. I went out there and tried my hardest. Played my best. And never stopped running. After tryouts I got news that I didn’t make it. The metro coach was good friends with my dad so I got the news before anybody else did. He told my dad that my score was two points away from making it. I wasn’t upset at all. But then my dad told me that ALL of my friends made it. More than 5 girls that were on my team. Now I was mad. The next day my dad told me he signed me up for BC Summer games. (Just a tournament in the summer time) so I went. I was super tired because I had a rough sleep the night before. I saw all of my friends from soccer there, and they were all bragging about how they made metro. Which made me extra mad.

I still wanted to play soccer that year so my mom took me to the BGSC tryouts. There were only 15 people there! So the instructor told me that we all make it, but we will be played in bronze.

That night I searched around for club tryouts. That’s when I came across cliff ave. I went to their tryouts and made the gold team! I was super excited. But I had made a promise to the bronze team that I would play with them.

So in the end I told BGSC that I am going to play for Cliff Avenue.
