My Football ExperienceHello, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Thomas Detrio, you can call me Thomas. I would like to tell you about my football experience. It was at my Junior High School time, I was around thirteen years old. As I know, when I was at eight grade, I followed the Football extracurricular. I had to practice how to be a good soccer player every Friday and Sunday. We practiced it in our school yard after class finished. My coach was Mr. Hermawan, he was so kind and funny. He told us how to kick the ball, block the ball and other tricks.

Every letter about soccer champion, he asked and guided the students to follow. Winning or failing champion was not priorities according to him, the most important for us was we could know the real competition with another team from another school. He was so discipline if one of his students came late, he punished.

Continue talking about my football experience, there was a champion in SMP N 2 Pringsewu. He announced to all and asked us to practice hard. He promised if we go the first winner, we would go to the beach. We were guided 2 weeks for training.

The champion schedule in the beginning of August, we were so nervous and along the competition we faced many teams. We made many goals. And the ending day, the master ceremony announced that our team was the first winner. He asked a vice of our team came to the stage to take the trophy. We were so happy, we yelled and laughed happily.

After going back, we had welcomed all the students and teacher of our school ceremonial. The head master gave thanking expression and gave us the holiday to the beach in the Sunday. That moment is my unforgettable football experience, I followed the football extracurricular in Senior High School 100.
