Tryouts

The next morning, I was so excited, that I woke up an hour earlier than I was supposed to. Since I couldn't fall back asleep, I just decided that I would get all ready and packed up, and then I would just practice outside until I had to leave for school. I ended up getting ready really fast, and practiced for about, 30 minutes. Since my father convinced the principal and coach to let me try out today, I had tryouts before school, and practice after school, if I made the team. I needed all the practice I could get to get ready for the tryouts.

It took me about 20 minutes to walk to school, and I got there about three minutes early. Enough time for me to got to the office, get my schedule, and find my locker. Since the lacrosse team was all boys, I had to pull some strings to be able to try out. Coach stated that I could play if I was good enough. So when I tried out I gave it my all.

The first thing they did at tryouts was put me in goal. I never really played goalie but I gave it my best. They had number 9 shoot on me for a little while. I think his name was Liam. He was a really good shot, and while I was still warming up, he scored a couple on me. But once I got warmed up and used to his pace, I blocked mostly the rest of his shots.

Once Coach came out he put me in the field for the rest of the drills. We practiced shooting with 2 defenders. A couple people went before me, and the two defenders stopped them all. The defenders, number 11 and number 24, seemed like good friends the way that they played, and it seemed they have been playing this sport for a long time. The people ahead of me all got taken down, but when I was up I knew I had to give it my all to be impressive. I spun around number 11 and, since I used to do gymnastics, jumped and flipped over number 24. Then right as I landed, I hammered the ball into the net, before the goalie could even get there. I was good enough for Coach to ask me to come back to practice, so I hoped that meant that I made the team.
