Year 7 Refelctions – My First Winter Sport Season at Shore

Nicholas Gong

For my first winter season at Shore, I chose football or soccer if you prefer. At the first trial every coach was very welcoming and cooperative. Game after game, I got to know the players and coaches better, while learning their strengths and weaknesses. As I play goal keeper, I would eventually let a goal in and even so, the coaches and players would stay positive and determined to win. My first winter season at Shore has been remarkable and unforgettable.

In winter I chose to play rugby. Most of my boarding friends played rugby in all different teams. I started off in the C’s with Sepo as my coach, we played mini trial games against the D’s at the very start of the season. I never played a game for the C’s that whole season as I moved up to the A’s as number 10. It was a massive change in gameplay in the A’s because people are bigger and faster. After the first game I got moved to the B’s inside centre. I only played one game for them before I was moved back up to the A’s for another position, halfback. I was never really a big fan of the position until I played my first game in that position. The whole season was very fun and meeting all new friends in all the teams that you are in.

Rifle Shooting is a new sport for me. I really liked rifle shooting because I have never in my life shot a gun. The bus trip is really long but you can talk to your friends and tell them how you’re going in rifle shooting. Shooting a gun was a fun thing to do for sport because I wanted to compete with my friends at rifle shooting. Shooting with mates is really fun and you get to talk with peers whilst shooting. Getting food from the vending is super fun buying some soft drinks and snacks. I also shot a score of 200 which is a really good score for someone who just started rifle shooting. I have improved my skills in rifle shooting a lot because of the tip I learnt through the expert there teaching us how to shoot. I wish to continue rifle shooting next year because of all the good moments I have had these 2 terms.
