Så kommer der et at mine lovede fodbold, af den amerikanske slags, indlæg. Det handle om min deltagelse i fodbold. Det er en tradition på min skole og mange andre at pigener, på min skole 4 or 3års, møder hinanden i en fodbold kamp.
Normalt vinder sidste års eleverne, men sidste år var det 3års eleverne der vandt. Så i år skulle vi se om de også kunne vinde som 4års.
Vi havde træning 2 gange, eller måske 3 er ikke lige 100% sikker. Jeg kom i en forsvarslinje, så hvis det andet hold havde bolden så skulle jeg ind og prøve at få den fra dem. De 2 andre udvekslingsstudenter var i den samme linje som mig, ingen af os vidste rigtig hvad vi skulle. Vi fik dog ret godt styr på det inden kampen, eneste problem i kampen var at vores trænere lige pludselig sagde vi skulle være på bane når vi startede kampen hvilket vi ikke havde øvet.
Vores trænere var 4 drenge fra vores årgang. Det andet holds trænere var drenge fra deres årgang.
Kampen gik super godt og vi vandt, dog havde folk forventet at vi vandt med mere. Vi spillede ikke rigtig amerikansk fodbold hvor man må takle hinanden, vi spilled en salg hvor vi havde et bælte med flag på. Hvis en person rev i et af de flag røg bæltet af og hvis bæltet røg af så var det ligesom man var blevet taklet.
Det var dog det problem med bælterne at de nogle gag røg af bare når man løb, så man skulle passe lidt på de ikke faldt af uden at nogen havde rørt dem .
Vores hold have sorte armer på vores trøjer og de andre havde røde. Vi havde næsten alle sammen malet sorte streger under vores øjne og så skulle man helts have sort ting på hvis en hold farve var sort og omvendt rød hvis man var på det røde hold.
Det var en super sjov oplevelse, håber de laver noget lignende igen, så kan jeg måske få mere styr på reglerne så det bliver endnu sjover. Glædelig 9 December og hav en dejlig weekend.
Here comes one of my promised football related posts. This one is about my participation in a football game. It is a tradition in my school and a lot of others school that the girls on the school play a football game against each other. This is known as Powderpuff football. At my school the tradition is that the seniors play the juniors. It is also pretty much a tradition that the seniors win. However when my grade the seniors last year played as juniors they won which is not normal. So it was highly expected that we would win this years game by a lot.
We had practiced 2 or 3 times I am not 100% sure how many times. I ended up being in a defense line. Along with me were 2 of the other exchange students. We didn’t really know what to do at all. But we learned that when the other team had the ball we would go on the field and try to get it. So in the end we understood the rules enough to be able to play. Only problem during the game was that our coaches decided to make us be on the field when they started that game, which was something complete different we hadn’t practiced. Our coaches were 4 boys from our grade. Likewise the juniors had boys from their grade coaching them.
The game went really well and we won, however not by as much as people had expected. We didn’t paly real football where you can tackle each other, we played flag football. We had a belt with flag attached to it that we had to wear when we were playing. If anyone pulled in one of the flags the belt would fall off and it would be the equivalent of being tackled. However you had to be careful because sometimes the flag belts would fall off without anyone touching them, but just because you ran.
Our team had black sleeves on our shirt and the junior had red. Almost everyone had painted the black line under their eyes. If you were a senior you should try to wear all black, likewise the juniors tried to wear all red stuff.
It was a amazing experience and I hope there will be something similar again. Maybe then we can understand the rules even more and it will be even better. Happy 9th of December and enjoy your weekend.
