Fall Games

Last year I started playing basketball as well with the Comets. I had never played basketball before, so it was really cool to learn a new sport! I think I play pretty good. I scored some points for my team, but I think my best skill is rebounding the ball. I think because I am smaller then alot of the other players they don't pay much attention to me. That is a mistake! I like to sneak in and steal the ball and pass it down the court to my team to score more points. This last October, I was able to play in the fall games up at the University of Utah. My team played 3 games on friday. We won 2 and lost 1. We played again on Saturday, we lost the first game but won the second game and came home with silver medals. I love playing on my Comets team!!

Summer Games

I was able to play in the Special Olympics down at Lone Peak High School during June 2016. We played 3 games on Friday and won all of them! Saturday we played again, we won all 3 again, but just barely. I got many goals and helped my team to win. It was also cool this year because my nephew ran track, so I was able to see and cheer him on too. My grandma and other family came to see us both as well, and that made me feel very special.

I play soccer on a Special Olympic team named the Comets. I love playing soccer! I love that I can play soccer on this team. When I was younger I played soccer on other AYSO teams and as I got older, I felt it got more competitive and the other kids on my team would get upset when I missed kicking the ball or let a goal go in the net. I quit playing soccer for a long time, before I found the VIP team with AYSO. I was nervous to join another team, but ended up learning alot about soccer and really loving it! I have played on my team for 4 years now and plan to play for many more years!
