I like playing soccer. The way I discovered soccer was because of my dad. He was really good at soccer. My dad taught me to play and my grandpa taught my dad to play. I started when I was 4 and over time I taught myself to love soccer. I love playing because it gives me something to spend my time on. It is entertaining and fun. I’ve played soccer for most of my life.
The reason I think people should play is they could benefit from it. People who I think could benefit it are people who don’t go outside. Some ways people could benefit is exercise or they can socialize with new people. That’s the way I met some of my closest friends. Like one day my mom put me on a team and my mom and another mom started talking and that same Saturday we had a cookout and the whole team went so that mom’s kid went and my teammates got in my pool and me and that kid started talking and now I see him often.
If you are someone who wants to get in shape then you should try soccer. It will get you fit. After that you will feel proud and you’ll be happy that you played. Your legs, abs, and arms will feel stronger, and you’ll never want to stop.
