SAISA FOOTBALL!!

The Girls Football Saisa tournament took place here at the Overseas School of Colombo from December 3-5th. From the beginning of the year one of my goals was to make the girls football team, which I am very happy about because I have accomplished it.   The tournaments with the other schools from across asia were very competative but in the end we accomplished to come 2nd after the AES school from New Delhi.

 As a team we were able to win all our games except for the finals which was a bit dissapointing, but I think as a team we have built on our individual skills and learnt to play as a team! I myself have learnt a lot and I believe I have achieved a lot from making the girls football team. These skills include: controlling the ball, working as a team, collaborating and putting all my effort and passion into a sport.Overall I have made new friends and been able to develop a lot as a football player. I also think the season was great and I am looking forward to trying out for the team next year again since it will be my last year in school. I also think everyone did a great job in contributing to the team and that it couldnt have been better! The weather was the only trouble we had through the whole tournament because it flooded the field and therefore we werent able to play against Lahore.

Below is a picture of the whole team and plus our coach Mr Shipley:




Now that the girls football season is over I am looking forward to trying out for Track & Field team later next year. However until then I will be working on my motocross skills.
