How to get on a traveling soccer team
If you want to get on a traveling soccer team. There are many thing you need to do. But you need to be commited. Because you will have to work hard.
First, you need to have a goal in mind. For example, you want to know if you want to be on the top team or a lower team. Once you decide that you need go outside and work one your foot skills. you also need to be able to defend.
Second, you need to be able to run atleast 3 miles in a row. So if you can not do that then you need to go out and run. Also you need to be able to sprint far and mutiple times in a row.
Third, you have try outs. You go there and they are usually arou 2 to 3 hours. Some are even to days in a row. After those you wait for a call from the coachs. They will tell you what team you have made. By then they will have all the teama planed out.
Last off, you start practicing and have games. Then you have it year around and have to try out again. You will go through the process again. But you will have a better chance to make the team the second time. Because the coachs know you better and know what you can do. So make sure you try your hardest durning the year so that your coach will want you on his team next year.

Is Blogging Journalism?
In my opinion blogging is journalism. When you blog you are writing about news and your opinion on things. On blogs you give your opinion on stuff and that is considered journalism. People think that journalism is just news. But I think that journalism is just when you tell your opinion.
Journalism is when people write down what is around them or there opinion. That is what blogging is. Most people like reading about what people think. It makes them think more about the topic and what they think abou it.

I play for a soccer team called Avalanche Premiere Southside. We travel to Las Vegas, California, and Arizona. There are about four to five tournaments a year.
We have played teams from Alaska to Mexico. But the hardest teams are usually from California because they practice outdoors year around.
We have never won a tournament. But we have gotten super close. We got to the Semis and went into PK shot outs. If we would of won the PK shot outs we would of moved on to the finals.
Our next tournament is next Friday. It is in Arizona and it is four the whole weekend. Our coach is certain that we can win this one.
It will be aw big accomplishment for our team uif we win. Are rating will go up super high. We might even get into the 50.
