\u201cSometimes when you\u2019re coaching middle schoolers, they can have a bad attitude, but this team is very positive,\u201d said the boys coach of the soccer team, Mr. Marsan. This year\u2019s soccer seasons have been fun and engaging for both the girls and boys teams. The coaches have been pushing through a challenging and fantastic season with the soccer community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A View From the Field<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cI\u2019d like to emphasize how proud I am of the team. We came into this [Season] with a new head coach after having a new one last year and we\u2019ve really made the most of it,\u201d said Eli Kampel, an eighth grade student and athlete here at Seven Hills. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of change in the [soccer] program the last couple years\u2026 we\u2019ve done a really good job of getting through it and I think we\u2019re in a good position heading into this week [of tournaments].” Throughout our interview, Eli continued to explain how vital teamwork and trust are while on the field. \u201cWe\u2019ve really learned a lot to trust each other and space out\u2026 It has been really encouraging, especially during some of our tougher games.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Coach\u2019s Perspective<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girl\u2019s soccer coach, Mrs. Hanley, said, \u201cThe girls on our team were so incredibly coachable, which allowed us to improve so much.\u201c Mrs. Hanley describes how she liked coaching for the Seven Hills girl\u2019s team. Mrs. Hanley wished that, \u201cAs a coach, all I want is for every girl to get better and to want to play next year. And I think we accomplished both!\u201d The girl\u2019s soccer team has been through ups and downs, but Coach Hanley and Coach Haskins have always been there for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth and Commitment<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girl\u2019s team had highs and lows, but they got through it with hard work and determination. Another 8th-grade athlete, Maria Schaefer, says, \u201cWe\u2019ve faced some hard teams and hard experiences, but we overcame them together, and it was a lot of fun.\u201d Throughout the season, the girl\u2019s soccer team has grown closer and closer after each game. Mrs. Hanley and Mrs. Haskins kept the group together through thick and thin. \u201cThey\u2019re really supportive and if you have any challenges they will help you, and they really helped me grow as a soccer player,\u201d Maria said about the coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Season Full of Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports are generally played for fitness, passion, and friendships. The Seven Hills soccer teams have demonstrated all these traits throughout their season. Even through tough and fun times, the athletes and coaches have enjoyed their season and remembered always to have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
