Girls+Soccer

Finally all the hard work practicing, during, and after school had stopped , as we headed off to Tauraunga, at 12:00pm on Sunday the 5th of September, to start what we had been practicing for , 24/7, the 2010 NZCT AIMS GAMES !!! We woke up at 6:30am in our cabins at Golden Grove holiday park, Mt Manganui, ready to start our first soccer game of the national tournament. Throughout the tournament we played 10 games, won 3, drew 1, and lost 6. Each game we played with an inspiring word written on the palm of our hand, to look at when we lost a pass or felt down for any reason, to encourage us to keep our heads up and play our hardest no matter what, loosing or winning. We ha words written like, team, desire, positive, heart, fun and others which we would change each game. Whilst at AIMS we got to meet people like Danien Loader, an olwe got to meet people like Danien Loader, an Olympic gold medalist swimmer, a world champian beatboxer and watch sweet and sour dance group perform. We also did lots of fun activities as a team in between games and in our free time, like, rock climbing, Mc Donald’s lunch, and hot pools. Our team, the girls soccer team, ended up finishing 12th out of 20 girls soccer teams in the tournament, but our placing didn’t put us down or cause us to think negative, because we played our hardest, gave our all, showed great sportsmanship and most of all had HEAPS OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! A BIG thank you to all the coaches, teachers, managers, helpers, Mrs Beckham, Mrs Fowlie, Josh, Mr Sweeney, and most of all everyone who took any part within this tournament. So, thank you for making 2010 AIMS GAMES possible for Pukekohe Intermediate, once again!
