On April 12 of 2025, Las Locitas had their 1st soccer game of the season at Trysa in Emporia, Kansas.

Las Locitas lost 4-1. It was a very difficult game, and the whole team tried their best to do good, but they still lost the game. It had made sense because they barely knew each other and they didn’t know how they all played and they didn’t communicate during the game which that made it more difficult to play the game and the whole team was nervous and scared so they were not that confident in themselves during the game and it brought them down

The preparation for the game was that they all had to go to practice, and they talked to each other more often so they could get to know each other more. The coach would do drills where they would have to pass more often, and they would also do shooting drills to get better with shooting and aiming. The coach would also make them run two laps, sometimes three, around the whole field so they could run more often in the game, and they wouldn’t get so tired in case she needed to leave anyone in the game or if there weren’t any substitutes. The improvement from the team was really good. they all worked together as a team, and the offense and defense did really well once they started to work together more often.

They had their 2nd game on April 22nd, but our coach couldn’t go so someone had to fill in for her. The team they played was really good, but they communicated really good with each other. It was a tough game, but they still managed to win. They didn’t have any substitutes. It was harder since they couldn’t take off any of the players who had gotten  tired or anything, but they all had tried their best.

After this story, I think you should go and try to play soccer. You could get to make new friends, get to know people more, and, once you get to know your team, you could see the improvements from everyone or even the improvements in yourself.
