This weekend is the Ozark High School boys and girls soccer fundraiser tournament. It's called the Summer Sizzler 3v3. It is 3 players verse 3 players of the opposite team. The field is not a regular sized field, it is much smaller. The goals are little pop up ones in the shape of a sideways moon. I believe this tournament has been every summer for 8 years now, but don't hold me to that.
The point of this tournament is to raise money for the High School boys and girls soccer teams to use during their seasons. For example, when I was in high school coach always bought Subway before our away games, so we could eat while we were on the bus. They also pay for our socks and allow us to attend tournaments throughout our season. The money raised is split in half between the boys and girls, so its fair!
You might be wondering why I am playing in the tournament if I have already graduated? Well, my sister plays on the High School girls team and what better way to play some soccer than by donating my time and money to the sport itself. I enjoy every minute of it and I am excited to play this year. Most of my old team is playing with us again. Yay!
Megan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend some of your summer! It is a really great cause too. I've never heard of these kind of tournaments, I think it's really great that schools put them on. What's better is that you are playing with your old team. That is a lot of fun.
